 We're here at ITU Telecom World 2014 in Doha in the state of Qatar and I'm very pleased to be joined by Dr Reza Jafari who is Chairman of the ITU Telecom Board and he's also Chairman and CEO of eDevelopment International and not forgetting of course Commissioner of the ITU Board Band Commission Reza, it's very nice to see you in the studio. Great, very good to see you again Max. Now I'd like to start off by talking about the central theme here at ITU Telecom World is future in focus. What development in technology, policy or business do you see as key to the near future? Well the developments that is happening again is happening in our ecosystem. For a long time we have been talking about ecosystem again in the industry, finally it's made its name and its way as you can imagine yourself to the conference and to the forum that everybody is not talking about ecosystem but even the ecosystem that we are discussing is in the process of transformation by itself. So the fact that we are focusing on the future is very, very important because we looked at past for a long time, now that the event is happening once every year it's also helping us to pay more attention to what is happening in the future. Now how important are cross-sector partnerships in the future? Extremely important because again as I mentioned the ecosystem is evolving, the ecosystem is transforming itself. So the ideas that we had in terms of different regulatory policies and things that was happening in the past, telecom operators and telecom regulators were a separate organization than the banking, banking different from the healthcare, healthcare is different from the manufacturing and the rest but now probably we need to create ecosystem-centric regulatory and governance structure for ecosystem-centric business models that is going to help us to make sure that this ecosystem delivers what we anticipate. And where do you see the role of ITU in that future? Well ITU has played a very, very significant role again in the past, building the bridge between the private sector and the public sector, creating the dialogue between again all stakeholders. Now this multi-stakeholder environment again is getting very complex. So the ecosystem that ITU now has to play has to do a couple of things, a bit of it on the branding side. It is not ITU telecom anymore, it is probably ITU ecosystem event because we have players from all walks of life, we have bankers, we have people from the healthcare industry, we have educational institutions participating, we have operators of course and then we have the regulators and the minister's policy makers. So that environment lends itself to the use of the ecosystem as we move on. Now there are a number of key participants gathered here from industry, from government. What message do you have for them? Well the message is let's not just talk about the ecosystem, let's not talk about ecosystem-centric business models, let's just make it happen and the only way that we can make it happen continue this dialogue into plan and action and continue the action into deliverables and deliveries because otherwise becomes another event, we had a wonderful time, we had great dialogues but nothing came out of it in terms of actions and deliverables, let's just focus on results. So that's very much the value for you in terms of this event itself? The event itself absolutely, again I've spoken with quite a few number of players and participants, some of them for the first time, some of them for fifth and tenth time. People see the evolution of the ITU telecom, people have seen the evolution of the event and of course more importantly the evolution of our industry that is no longer an isolated environment, it is a member, a significant member of the interconnected ecosystem that we need to work together and we need to make sure we deliver what the humanity is expecting from us. Finally to conclude I'd like to ask you what key technological development do you think will make the most difference in the next five to ten years? The most important technological difference is going to be our contribution to the healthcare industry and to the education because those are the two industries especially the healthcare that I have spent fifteen years of my time the past fifteen years focusing on the use of ICT for healthcare and the intersection of healthcare and education as you know we have a shortage of capacity of doctors and nurses and nurse practitioners and ICT can help educate them, build the capacity and ask them to become a contributors as well. Dr. Reza Jafar, thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Thanks.
