ITS Copenhagen 2010

PDF version

Topics at the conference will be – but are not limited to:

During the past decades, telecommunications and IT have gone through fundamental changes technologically, economically and politically resulting in new challenges and crossroads. Convergence between telecommunications, IT and the media has reached a stage where entirely new value configurations are taking shape. The role of users is also changing with the widespread growth of social networks and other user centred applications. These developments raise new policy and regulatory issues, e.g. regarding governance of content and services. Regulatory questions reappear in new forms in the infrastructure area with the development of next generation networks. Furthermore, ICTs are increasingly applied in relation to energy saving, health and environmental issues creating new business potentials as well as new regulator/policy challenges.

All these and other topics will be dealt with at the European regional ITS conference in Copenhagen 13-15 September. Papers and panel sessions in the following areas are called for. Other topics are equally welcome.

NGN and NGA – economics and regulation
Investment and innovation
New players, platforms and business models in telecommunications
User roles and social networking
Universal service/access
Internet governance
Media convergence
Spectrum management
IPR
Green ICT and other new application areas
Regulatory institutions
Other topics
