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

Interconnection remains a vital source of revenue for operators. However, the transition from legacy to Next Generation networks, the convergence of networks and the increasing regulation of mobile networks, represent a number of new challenges for regulators and operators – regulators will have to re-think existing interconnection regimes and operators will have to develop strategies that will effectively assure interconnection revenue in a rapidly evolving technological and uncertain regulatory environment.

The 2012 programme will examine how operators and regulators are addressing existing and emerging interconnect challenges in the regulatory, commercial and technical sphere.

IIR’s Interconnection World Forum has been the meeting place for Interconnection professionals from around the world for the past 16years, so join us in London next January to learn, network and hear about the latest developments.
