Hawaiian Communication Expertise @ PTC ’08

From January 13th through the 16th, PTC ’08 is an event to note, especially as it occurs at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort & Spa in Honolulu. The theme is Telecom With Vision. As we head full-steam into the "next generation" in the Pacific, telecommunication networks have emerged as critical connections to bind together the region, geographically, economically and culturally. Everywhere, broadband is a force for social change. With the rapid diffusion of broadband to the home and, increasingly, the handset, what were once futuristic applications are now flourishing, such as BitTorrent, Video to the Mobile, MMS, User Generated Content, Multiplayer Games and Virtual Worlds. Many of Asia’s leading cities are becoming massively processed cyber zones with the net effect being a huge increase in network traffic at all levels with a surging demand for wholesale network capacity. A plenary panel of the top global wholesale providers of bandwidth will explore the impact of the new services environment on the core of the telecom industry.
