Q Will Speak> China Telecom Services Market and the WTO Talks to Be Focused at China Telecom 2000 Conference in Washington DC on June 2-3, 1999 BUSINESS WIRE WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 1999--Telecom officials and executives from China and several other countries will gather and speak at the [ China Telecom ] 2000 - Conference on Exploring Business Opportunities in the Kingdom of Change. The conference is organized by Information Gatekeepers and will be held at the Swissotel the Watergate in Washington DC from June 2-3, 1999. The aim of the conference is to provide an opportunity for foreign telecommunications companies to learn about the fastest-growing dynamic Chinese telecom markets and to explore business opportunities. The conference will cover a wide array of topics related to the telecom market in China. Key areas of discussion include new telecom policy and regulations, telecom services market and the WTO, telecom investment financing models, IP phone and fax regulations, the Internet, fiber optics and optical networking, switching, wireless, mobile satellite, VSAT, and other technologies. One of the major areas of focus at the conference will be the telecom services market and the WTO negotiations. "Despite a long history of protecting its telecom services market, China 's senior Leadership has endorsed fundamental policy reform. Private and direct foreign participation in telecommunications services has been approved as part of broad macro-economic restructuring - and will likely go forward even if China's bid for entry into WTO stalls. After years of battling prevailing policy, foreign investors may finally have cause for legitimate hope," said Ken Zita, principal of Network Dynamics Associates, a telecom consulting firm based in New York. Speakers include telecom officials and executives from the following organizations: the Ministry of Information Industry, Shanghai PTA, Beijing University of Post and Telecommunications, Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Company, Great Dragon Telecom, Lucent Technologies, Nortel Networks, Qualcomm, [ Motorola ] , the Chinese Embassy, [ Coudert Brothers ] , BellSouth, Andersen Consulting, INTELSAT, Paul Weiss, the World Bank, the ITU, U.S. Commerce Department, Telecommunications Industry Association, NeTrue Communications, Cwill Telecommunications, Network Dynamics, Revenue Growth International and others.
