7th annual international meeting CariCam announces 2008 conference agenda
2008 marks the 7th annual meeting since the CariCam Mobile was launched over 7 years ago by Informa Telecoms & Media. Since that time the conference has grown significantly year after year bringing together some of the most remarkable carriers, regulators, manufactures, service providers and handset distributors of the telecoms industry. The event is recognized as an open forum to increase understanding of the commercial and technical challenges and opportunities to run successful wire line and wireless operations in the Caribbean & Central America region.
This year’s CariCam Mobile will have industry leaders discussing the latest trends in service adoption and new revenue drivers, the deployment of new disruptive technologies, business opportunities for next-generation mobile messaging & VAS, strategies for FMC & triple play services, besides the regional perspectives of the legal and regulatory environment.

Conducted by Jose F. Otero from Signals Telecom Consulting, the second workshop will give executives a broader understanding about the business aspects of applications, services and operations involving Wimax, besides the analysis of the key points concerning IPTV deployment and its potential impact on business.
