NEW YORK, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The Swedish-American
Chamber of [ Commerce, Inc. ] (SACC NY) will host a half-day
symposium entitled "Forum Sweden" on Wednesday, September 23, 1998,
in New York City. The distinguished panel of experts will address topics to
include the impact of the Internet on the telecommunications industry, the
effects of national and international deregulation of telecom, the convergence
of media types, and the significance of the new global competitive
marketplace. Rapid changes of enormous magnitude have already pervaded
the industry and are forcing businesses to more quickly innovate, evolve, and
find new ways to compete or collaborate.
Panel of Experts:
Lars Berg, CEO, Telia Group and President, Telia AB
Bo Dimert, President & CEO of Ericsson Inc.
William Vinck, CIO & VP of Omnipoint Communications Services LLC
Regina Keeney, Chief, International Bureau, Federal Communications
Commission (FCC)
Moderator:
Dr. Augustine C. Fou, President & CEO, go-Digital Internet Consulting
Group, Inc.
"By bringing together key stakeholders in the telecommunications industry
such as an operator, Telia, a manufacturer, [ Ericsson ] , a wireless carrier,
[ Omnipoint ] , and a regulatory agency, the FCC, we create the
environment where these leaders will share ideas and explore new business
opportunities, looking forward to the IT millennium," said Lars
Christofferson, President of the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce.
He continued: "The topics covered in the symposium are real issues faced by
all companies today, not just telecom companies. The conference will have
immediate impact for businesses as they now compete in a whole new global
marketspace with new high-tech telecommunications tools at a much more
rapid pace of business."
"The entrenchment of the open-standards Internet, the flurry of technological
innovations, and the encroachment of other industries in providing telecom
services have already caused widespread changes in the telecommunications
industry. Rather than be reactive to the forces of change, the participants
here will proactively shape the telecom future to continue to fulfill a
fundamental human need, the need to communicate," said Dr. Augustine
Fou, president and CEO of go-Digital Internet Consulting Group, Inc.
