NEOEDGE Media & Research believe that the TELECOM COMMUNITY will be the “EPICENTER” of the Management Service Ecosystem. We all know that the global economy is in the tank. Everyone – personally and professionally – is cutting expenses. Can this situation actually be an opportunity knocking on the telcos' doors? Will cost saving initiatives encourage corporations to consider telcos as resources for managed services? There's a compelling case for telcos' approach to managed services. NEOEDGE is proud to announce the roll out of another premier event - this year’s MANAGED SERVICES FOR EMERGING MARKETS Conference on the 5-6 of October in Dubai, U.A.E.

Despite impressive global mobile and internet subscriber growth, around half the World’s population still remains unconnected. The reasons for this are many – geographical remoteness, affordability, low population density making it uneconomical for services to be delivered…

However new energy efficient networks, low-cost devices and optimized network designs are changing things. They are enabling operators to create sustainable business models to deliver life-changing services and applications to sectors of society, which have until now remained unconnected, underserved and cut off from the economic opportunities and social benefits enjoyed by the rest of society.

Beacon Events is therefore delighted to team up with MASTEL, Indonesia’s leading telecoms association, to create Connecting the Next Billion – a three-day conference to be held in Jakarta on 2-4 November 2010.
