 ITU Telecom World 2012 brought together ICT sector leaders for some of the year's most thought-provoking discussions about the challenges facing the industry now and in the future. Participants shared their take on an industry in the midst of rapid change. To me it was a revelation that we now reach the situation where the business model that we've been used to for the past century no longer applies. And what we are looking at and what we started to talk about in Dubai was the business model which is going to apply for the next hundred years. The future is no longer an extrapolation of the past. The traditional players have got their difficulties at the moment and they are seeing the industry commoditize and they have issues with their revenues. We're seeing new players coming along the over the top players who are some say taking those revenues away but they're also introducing innovation and they're bringing a new perspective to the whole industry. We're used to a voice centric universe in telecommunications. We're now in a data centric universe and that completely changes the rules of the game and it brings enormous opportunities. It brings for example machine to machine internet of things. We're living now in a digital world. We can deliver material in a way which has not been possible in the past. We can interact and communicate in ways which has not been possible in the past and that opens up immense opportunities. The difficulty is who is going to take advantage of those opportunities and who is going to win. Join us in Bangkok from the 18th to the 21st of November 2013 to continue the one conversation that matters.
