These sessions combine to give a breakdown of where the telecoms industry currently fi nds itself, with a comprehensive look forward at where it is going (with forecasts and timelines), as well as discussing regional issues.
2. Management and business skills - Comprehensive and focused, these highly practical interactive sessions provide an opportunity to enhance your management and leadership skills, providing a solid foundation to drive change and improve standards in any organisation.
3.

Attention is paid to important issues such as the user experiences and service proposition; access schemes and core network technologies: service delivery options; and support/ network requirements. The focus is very much on technology as an enabler.
