The leading forum for interconnection professionals. Now in its 18th year!

In a constantly evolving telecoms sector, interconnection remains an integral source of revenue for both mobile and fixed operators. But as operators continue along the path toward Next Generation Networks they must adapt their business models and ensure interoperability and QoS in response to changing market conditions and technologies.

On behalf of IIR Telecoms, I welcome you to the 18th annual edition of Interconnection World Forum to discuss and debate the greatest challenges facing interconnection professionals. Join us this year to enter the debate on IPX as an interconnect strategy for operators; gain insight on the impact of net neutrality on interconnection on the internet; learn from operators on how they are responding to decreasing mobile termination rates and the prospect of a market with zero termination rates; debate how wholesale access including bitstream and LLU should be regulated and much more.

Based upon our analysis of the 2011 event, we expect the following delegate breakdown:

Key Topics To Be Covered At The Event Include:

• How can operators respond to a market on the path to lower termination rates? What are the implications for fixed, mobile, incumbent, and challengers?
• Does IP interconnect provide a viable commercial model? What are the technical and commercial challenges to implementation and how far away is HD-Voice?
• Interconnection Pricing: Which Models to Implement in NGNs
• How can operators overcome the challenge of limited points of interconnection?
