ITU Telecom World 2012 is the platform for the global ICT community to connect, debate, network and share knowledge. Key stakeholders from across the entire industry ecosystem will come together in Dubai from 14 -18 October to harness the power of ICTs to create real change.
Debates, discussions and conversations at World 2012 will focus on the radical transformation of the ICT sector, the implications for policy, technology and competitive strategy - and the importance of ensuring that connectivity in a transformed world is universal, fair, open and secure.
