GDC WIRELESS BROADBAND IN EMERGING MARKETS SUMMIT: Wireless Broadband in Latin America Session Time: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 2:00-3:00pm Latin America will remain one of the fastest-growing markets for wireless broadband technologies in 2009, despite the economic downturn. The number of mobile WiMAX subscribers in Brazil alone is likely to skyrocket from fewer than a thousand in 2007 to 3.6 million in 2011, representing a compound annual growth rate of 940%. As the industry grows, spectrum availability and management is becoming an increasingly critical issue. This session will bring together key industry players and regulators to discuss the upcoming spectrum auctions and wireless broadband network deployments in the region. Wireless Broadband in South Asia Session Time: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 3:00-4:00pm South Asia is home to some of the largest markets in the world. Yet, in China and India, wireless broadband is still trying to gain momentum. Planned spectrum auctions in India have been repeatedly delayed as the Department of Telecommunications and Department of Space struggle with interference issues. China has only recently made spectrum available for wireless broadband technologies. Panelists will discuss the potential for wireless broadband deployments in these and other South Asia markets in this session. The status of the spectrum auctions in India will also be addressed. Wireless Broadband in EMEA - Eastern Europe/Russia, Middle East and Africa Session Time: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 4:00-5:00pm To date, wireless broadband deployment in EMEA has been driven by WiMAX service providers, especially in the Middle East, Russia and Eastern Europe. WiMAX continues to be the dominant wireless broadband technology in EMEA, while selected operators have recently committed to LTE launches in Western Europe. This session will feature insight from EMEA experts discussing region-specific wireless broadband deployments and assessing the impact of current technology choices in the EMEA region. WCAI BROADBAND AND WIRELESS POLICY SUMMIT: Universal Broadband Service and New Spectrum for Wireless Broadband Session Time: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 2:00-3:00pm Achieving universal broadband access – i.e., ensuring that all consumers are served by emerging broadband technologies at affordable prices – is at the top of the Obama administration’s policy list. So is making more spectrum available. What role should wireless play in policies designed to achieve universal broadband access? Is more spectrum required to achieve that goal? How does the government intend to make more spectrum available? In this session, panelists will discuss options for reforming universal service policies. Panelists will also address the most likely outcomes in the new spectrum wars. Next Generation IP-Enabled E911 Session Time: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 3:00-4:00pm Congress recently required that the FCC promote consistency in the deployment and operation of IP-enabled 911 and E911 services. The FCC could decide to impose strict location accuracy requirements on emerging IP-enabled voice services using WiMAX, WiFi, and other 4G technologies. This session will explore the potential impact of broadband universal service and E911 requirements on 4G technology vendors and operators. Panelists will also discuss steps vendors and operators should be taking now to prepare. Automatic Roaming on Wireless Broadband Networks Session Time: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 4:00-5:00pm The FCC is considering whether automatic roaming obligations should be extended to wireless broadband providers. This potential requirement raises many policy, legal, and technical questions: Would the imposition of automatic roaming undercut incentives to deploy new wireless broadband networks and chill innovation, or would it enhance wireless broadband access? What legal bases would support extension of automatic roaming obligations to wireless broadband networks? Do the potential technical challenges render the proposal unrealistic? These questions and more will be addressed in this session. * For general registration questions and information about education & government discounts please contact Jennifer Harvey, [email protected] View the entire WCAI program online: http://cts.vresp.com/c/?Trendsmedia/f20fb8fb12/edfcbf0093/293af951cf/page_id=1727 Register before July 31 and save $500 off full conference rates!
