Now in its 3rd year and a fixture in the stakeholder calendar, this year’s European NGT Conference will explore the current state of play with regards the role out of Next Generation Networks and the promotion and deployment of broadband on a competitive basis across Europe.

Set within the context of the global economic crisis, the conference will address both the policy and commercial dimensions impacting such a competitive roll-out. Areas for discussion include:

    * Regulating Next Generation Access
    * NGN rollout: Progress to date
    * Convergence on NGNs: Innovation for future services
    * Competition and investment
    * The role of mobile broadband

With the EU viewing efficient and accessible NGNs as key drivers towards economic recovery, this conference will seek to provide concrete suggestions as to the creation and delivery of an EU-wide broadband strategy.
