U.S. telcos, officials to talk shop with China Reuters, Tuesday January 7, 6:05 pm ET biz.yahoo.com WASHINGTON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - U.S. government and telecommunications company officials plan to travel to China Feb. 20-22 to show off U.S. technologies and services to top officials in that nation's government, an industry group said on Tuesday. Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT - News), Cisco Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:CSCO - News), Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - News), and Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ - News) executives are among those who will travel with Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps and Nancy Victory who heads the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. They plan to meet with China's Minister of the Information Industry Wu Jichuan, China corporate executives and telecommunications authorities from some provinces, according to the Telecommunications Industry Association which is organizing the trip with the U.S. Commerce Department. "It provides U.S. officials and company executives a unique opportunity to engage in dialogue on the future of telecommunications and information technology in China with those most responsible for its development," TIA said in a statement. The officials plan to discuss industry trends, foreign investment, regulations, high-speed Internet service and wireless development as well as information and network security. Some 30 companies are expected to make the trip, with 20 large companies paying $12,000 for the privilege and 10 smaller companies paying $6,000, plus travel and accommodations, the trade group said. Similar summits were held in 1997 and 1999.
