Mobile+ Summit

Sep 2, 2008 - Sep 3, 2008,
Hyatt Regency Hotel 5A Tarasova St. Kyiv, Ukraine

In Central & Eastern Europe (CEE), competition among mobile operators is increasing, as most markets have arrived at penetration rates of over 100%. The markets are also maturing, and as third-generation mobile networks are being deployed, consumers have become more sophisticated, and want more than just voice from their mobile devices. This is the critical tipping point for operators, to position themselves as mobile service providers, to become more than just bit pipes by offering Value Added Services (VAS). Especially the mobile broadband VAS, such as video and music streaming, are positioned to become key revenue drivers in CEE, the Caucasus, Russia and Central Asia.

To this Mobile+ Summit, we have invited top operators and key regulators from all across CEE, the Caucasus, Central Asia and Russia to discuss these key issues, and to network with fellow operators and regulators. We are also offering the opportunity to solution and content providers, to become part of this important summit and to take advantage of the sponsorship and exhibition opportunities.

Join us at this upcoming Mobile+ Summit, to take place from 2 to 3 September in Kyiv/Kiev, Ukraine. Contact us now if you are interested in speaking, sponsorship and exhibition opportunities.
