B4 : VoIP Comes of Age in the Americas
Wednesday, 05 Oct 2005, 16:40 - 18:00
As voice traffic migrates from traditional circuit switched networks to a variety of next generation networks, a number of fundamental questions are posed to industry and governments alike. How should regulators respond to this evolution in the provision of voice services? Should all voice services be treated equally by regulators and policy makers regardless of the technology over which they are delivered? When should voice over IP be considered as value added compared with more traditional solutions? Should traditional interconnection and regulatory models apply to VoIP? How might universal service policies be adapted without impacting negatively on the fairness of the competition? How can these new technologies be best used to meet universal access goals? Are telecommunications companies in Latin America adapting to these developments? What new business models will emerge? What challenges and opportunities?

"The Road Ahead: The Future of WiFi Telephony"
WiFi VoIP offers many benefits in its current state, yet it is still a nascent technology and therefore continuing to evolve. Today many operators are beginning to implement a converged service for their customers beginning with the development of enabling the transfer, or ‘handoff’, of calls between these technologies. While cellular technology automatically hands off calls between cellular towers, the hand off between WiFi and cellular (whether GSM or CDMA) is still a work in progress. As the technology and the supporting marketing plans and packages evolve, carriers can choose to embrace the technology or view it as a competitive threat. If embraced, new applications and competitive pricing structures can help add value, increasing customer loyalty at a lower cost structure.

"By 2009, VoIP will account for €13bn of the near €40bn worldwide market for broadband value-added services JUPITER RESEARCH " Network and share your VoIP experiences with the leading players from Europe's VoIP community, and enhance your understanding of how to capitalise on the VoIP opportunity
VoIP is definitely here to stay. Since the 1990s, members of the service provider communities have been trying to shift the perception of VoIP among prospective end-users from that, of a technology to that, of a service: to convert curiosity into long-term custom. The first converts were the enterprise community. However, while service providers continue to court the enterprise customers - the most lucrative of market segments - to adopt VoIP, in 2005, thanks to the rapid uptake of fixed broadband services across much of Europe, incumbent operators and service providers have turned their attention to deploying VoIP in the mass market, consumer segment.
The aim of this director-level, international conference then, is to explore the business case for voice over broadband in residential, and in enterprise markets by means of case studies from the entire fixed, and mobile service provider communities.
