 Africa: New Services, New Markets, New Opportunities
As part of our opening session we feature a panel debate bringing together a number of industry experts to discuss, both amongst themselves and with the audience, as to what they see as most the important trends in the evolving communications services arena in Africa. How will the changes they see happening impact the way the next generation of information, communication and entertainment services are designed, created and delivered? How will a new era of mobile communications take a fundamental role in not just the communications infrastructure but the social and economic future of the region? Our panel members have all experience gained from having worked in the region and each bring their own unique perspectives to get the conference off to a flying start.
