Chicago, IL -- The International Engineering Consortium (IEC) will
present key players at the Broadband World Forum Europe to discuss the
importance of content and mobility next week at the CNIT La Défense in
Paris 9-12 October, with France Telecom as the official host sponsor.
The Thursday Hot Seat Session entitled, "The Emerging Mobile Context for

IEC Vice President of
Content, Tom Costello, stated, "This contentious Hot Seat Session
promises to generate both heat and light on the mobile/fixed ecosphere
both in terms of the best enabling technologies and innovating broadband
content services."
Moderator Angelo Morelli, Executive Partner of Accenture's
Communications & High Tech Operating Group and global lead for Service
Delivery Platform, further commented, "This Hot Seat discussion will
take a look at the technology realities behind fixed/mobile broadband
services: what technologies are enabling the mobile broadband
environment, the prospects for fixed-mobile convergence, and the role
that the legacy wireline network is going to play in all this."
Representing differing views at the session is Motorola Networks and
Enterprise's Bilal Saleh, who is Director of Europe, Middle East,
Africa, and Latin America Caribbean, Application Services and Yossi Saad,
Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Actelis
Networks.
Morelli continued, "Attendees should come away with a better
understanding of where we stand in achieving all this, where things are
headed, and how carriers are taking advantages of the emerging
opportunity afforded by mobile broadband and fixed/mobile convergence."
More than 250 industry experts will speak in nearly 70 educational
tutorials, plenary panels, and sessions at the Broadband World Forum
Europe and its co-located event, the WiMAX Global ComForum.
All industry professionals are invited to attend the Hot Seat Session on
Thursday, 12 October at 11:00 at the Broadband World Forum Europe with a
complimentary Exhibits Plus Pass available at the show.
