The combination of deregulation, competition, convergence and technology has created a turbulent telecom market. Telecom Business(TM) '99 Anaheim Offers Forum for Converging Telecom Industry, Maintains Focus on IP Telephony HOUSTON, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The combination of deregulation, competition, convergence and technology has created a turbulent telecom market. New service providers such as CLECs, ISPs, long distance firms and cable companies; new national network providers such as Qwest, Level 3, Williams and Teligent; and new suppliers like Excel, Cisco, Ascend, 3com, IDT and Bay Networks are all vying for their share of this lucrative market. Telecom Business(TM) Conference and Exposition unites all the players and all the technology in this dynamic industry. With special focus on IP Telephony, Telecom Business(TM) '99 Anaheim will maintain its positioning as the one event to meet the needs of the new competitive telecom market. Scheduled for March 29-31 at the Anaheim Convention Center, attendance at Telecom Business(TM) '99 Anaheim is expected to exceed 8,000. Exhibitors will meet with top telecom executives and decision-makers on the show floor. Companies such as Lucent, Cisco, Coyote, Apex and Qwest will be on hand, closing deals with next-generation service providers, resellers and large corporate end-users who are buying, selling, reselling and bundling telecom services. Many of these same companies will serve as sponsors of this event, which continues to grow each year. ''With technology such as DWDM, xDSL, ATM, IP Telephony and Voice Over Data changing the face of the telecom industry, there is tremendous opportunity for individuals and companies to benefit during this convergence,'' said Marc Ostrofsky, Telecom Business(TM) president. ''This event is an ideal forum for the thousands of attendees who are setting up next-generation and enterprise networks and using the PSTN and IP telephony to create the most efficient and effective telecom networks.'' Telecom Business(TM) '99 Anaheim will feature 12-14 conference tracks, with the new tracks Telecom Finance '99, Wireless Telecom '99, NextGen Networks '99 and Telecom Business.com '99 added to the schedule. Led by top telecom executives, these conferences are expected to draw hundreds of attendees intending to capitalize on this educational opportunity. The keynote roster will feature leading minds and top executives from cutting-edge telecom companies who will share their insight and experience in the telecom market. ''The main theme of this year's conference is going to be building the Next-Generation Networks,'' said Eric Stebel, conference director. ''As the voice and data markets converge into one, Telecom Business(TM) '99 Anaheim is going to have a stronger focus on data telephony, voice over the Internet, enterprise solutions and how these new technologies are forcing their way into the mainstream telecom marketplace.''
