It is difficult to believe that at the beginning of 2010 we are still battling for broadband.
There has been a lot of hype arround the establishment of a second telco in South Africa alongside Telkom and the existing three cell phone operators. New undersea fibre-opting cables may be heralding a new era of increased international bandwidth, competition and the prospect of lower prices. New broadband technology options are becoming available. And there are a host of new business applications that will be opened by the availability of pervasive broadband with higher bandwidth at lower costs.
The symposium will facilitate open and robust discussion on all the political and policy issues; economic, social and business issues; technology issues; industry structure issues; regulatory issues; competitive and anti-competitive issues; and pricing issues.
A number of leaders in the industry will bring us up-to-date on what can be expected this year. Service providers, telcos, strategists and technologists will discuss the various issues and provide some direction. Business will hear how it can benefit from broadband and the new applications that become viable as broadband becomes more pervasive and available to all at realistic prices.
