So, What Next?

“Change is universal… Change is permanent… Be ever willing to change… For change always leads you to success and happiness.” “Be alert for the first sign of change Anticipate change when things are going right Always look at the opportunity that change presents.” because “Change is the only thing that will never change So better adapt to it.”

The only change that came to our mind: Lets not conduct NTS ! Taking a leap forward in our pursuit We are replacing it with ATS! ASIAN TELECOM SEMINAR

Why ATS? Provide a platform to discuss issues concerning whole Asia Pacific region. Invite telecom operators from abroad especially those who are eying India as greener pasture. Opportunity for Indian players to learn from their experience. Discuss how the economies of countries are favourable for operators. It will provide networking opportunities for building and strengthening corporate relations.

Some issues confronting Asian Telecom: Driving 3G or Go Beyond! Dynamics of telecom during slowdown. ICT at BOP – Where lies the Buck? VAS – Bypassing Operators! Telecom – Going Green! Political Economy of Telecom in Asia Incumbents vs. Operators! Mobile Social Networking Some Country specific Case Studies…

And bigger opportunities for the corporate to participate as: As a Sponsor Platinum Gold Silver Session and many more… As a Media partner As a Delegate As a Support Association And many new opportunities coming your way And what's the plan well its definitely going to be bigger and better…

With foreign players entering India & Indian players going abroad, it becomes more relevant to discuss telecom issues with an Asian perspective….

So, lets come together and be part of this revolutionary transformation at SITM! To participate contact: Seminar Committee , Designed by The Design Cell of SITM
