In a context still fraught with difficulty,
IDATE has chosen broadband as the theme of the 2001 edition of its
International Conference.
The maturity
of the different high-speed platforms
This will be the occasion for refocusing on a vehicle for transformation
identified years ago and awaited ever since, but which in recent months
seems to have acquired fresh credibility under the impact of the progress
in access technologies (DSL, cable modem, optics, radio, etc.) and
in Internet innovation.
What services
will be offered in a mass broadband access market?
This annual event will also provide an opportunity to study how leading
players in the market are translating technological advances into
innovative services and applications capable of attracting consumers
and creating a mass broadband market.
Are we heading
for a revival within the Telecoms-Internet-Media industries?
Lastly, there will be the chance of examining the conditions for regeneration
in these industries and the players best placed to exploit the possibilities
offered.
