 We're here at Wicked 2012 in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and I'm very pleased to be joined by Foste Manuel Toscano, who is Director General and CEO of ITSO. Foste Manuel, thank you very much indeed for being with us today. I'd like to talk to you about ITSO's presence here at Wicked and what your impressions have been so far. Well, thank you very much for having me here. It's also a pleasure to be here and in giving this interview. You know that the international telecom regulations have been many years that have not been reviewed. In these many years, many things happened in the sector, liberalization, introduction of new players, and as such they have to be reviewed, they have to be adapted to the reality and they have to contribute to a common goal that we all have, which is to alleviate poverty. Now, ITSO has in its mission international public telecommunications services and such as you could understand we have to be here and we have to contribute as much as possible to the success of this conference and that this conference at the end of today is a milestone in the implementation and often in broadband infrastructure, which as you know we have known each other for some time, is one of my babies. And there have been a lot of changes since the last conference. Perhaps you could talk a little bit about what in your opinion have been the major milestones. Well, there have been major milestones, I believe. These milestones started with the liberalization of the telecommunications sector, with the introduction of new players in the sector, with the introduction of a concept, which for me is fundamental, which was the concept of the universal service, with the understanding of the need for telecommunications and what the telecommunications may mean to implement policies of a government. And finally, by the realization of the importance of broadband in order to achieve common objectives. And as you know, in 2000, there were very, our leaders have taken a decision which was by 2015 we have to alleviate poverty and have implemented and have agreed on millennial development goals. And what is important is that there has been a conceptualization of the international community of the importance of ICT, of the importance of telecommunications and the importance of broadband to achieve those objectives. I think this is a milestone, very frankly. And what in your opinion do you think will be the most positive outcome from this conference? Well, I'm very hopeful and I'm sure that the outcome of this conference will be a set of regulations which facilitate one common objective. And common objective is that broadband is available to everyone. In the past we talked about digital divide, today we talk about broadband divide. There are still many people who don't have access to broadband. And if they don't have access to broadband, they don't have access to service-like schools, they don't have access to service-like health. And we international community, myself as a commissioner of the broadband commission, as you are aware, have a duty. And the duty is that we make possible and we create the conditions for broadband to be available worldwide. And I'm very hopeful that this conference will be a milestone by coming with a set of regulations which will facilitate this implementation. Jose Manuel Toscano, thank you very much indeed for being with us today. And thank you for having me. Thank you very much.
