Thursday, 25 June 2009 |
The subject of the future of the telecommunications market was highlighted by Dr Hossein Eslambolchi, Chairman and CEO of 2020 Ventures, who addressed over 50 telecom heads in California at the industry leading Next Generation Telecom Summit. A brutally honest debate touched on the concept of the ‘consumer’, their needs and what they are willing to pay for. Heated discussions and opposing views occurred on sharing out revenues created by content between telecom and media companies. Industry leaders discussed about the future of telecoms, and whether they can work together to take technology further. Platforms like the groundbreaking California summit need to become available to the industry's figureheads for discussions to occur more frequently. Influential thinkers like Eslambolchi are stepping up to the challenge to develop telecommunication and take it to another level. Over the last few years, consumers have been bombarded with new technological ways to interact with each other. From the i-phone to Skype, global communication is becoming easier and cheaper, and has advanced dramatically in a short space of time. |
