The demand for broadband is evidenced by the rapidly growing focus on advanced FTTx rollouts and the huge increases in traffic experienced in HSPA networks. But, unlike traditional voice services, broadband revenues are not proportional to broadband traffic volumes. Sustainable broadband services are only possible if new network technologies can be deployed that deliver a much lower cost per bit. Future networks will need to deliver global connectivity between devices, networks, services and applications for a globally interoperable future ICT infrastructure. KEY QUESTIONS: - What will be the nature of the convergence of mobile and fixed broadband services? - What are the implications of these technologies on network development and service provision ?

Tuesday, 06 Oct 2009, 16:30 - 18:00, Room F Much has been written about the importance of ICT and broadband for economic growth and social improvement. However, empirical studies linking ICT deployment and adoption to job creation and economic growth are just recently being undertaken since ICT and broadband are still at relatively early stages of their development. It took decades before the full economic impact of railways and electricity in the 19th century and telephones and computers in the 20th century were felt and could be documented. This session examines the state of what is known about the impact of ICT and broadband. KEY QUESTIONS: - What do we know about the link between ICT and broadband and economic activity and growth? - What are some of the studies or data linking ICT and economic growth? - What factors most affect the adoption and use of ICT? - What are the salient facts to present to a governmental actor (e.g. Minister) considering ICT? - What questions can be identified for future research?

In response consumers are adopting many innovations but also rejecting others. . Increasingly consumers create and define their own markets, at the extreme down to a customised market of one. Consumers are altering their expenditure patterns and, in so doing, are imposing challenges to both old and new business models on the suppliers. KEY QUESTIONS: - How does a global company enable individuals to create their own experience? Will the brand appearing on that experience be the manufacturer, the operator, the service provider, the social network or the user? - Who gets paid and how does the money flow through the value chain? " How are the people at the bottom of the pyramid to be engaged in a rich service environment?

While the economic situation is having its impact on new product development, the emergence of new services and applications is a constant stimulus to innovation in the ICT industry. Picking winners and losers is a particular challenge in a difficult economic climate. To meet the challenge of 'Internet for the next One Billion+' will require meeting the requirements of new markets, new user demands, new services on the network and evolving infrastructure. The global standardization landscape will need to be clarified to avoid overlaps and complexity in standards development and to ensure that industry priorities are met and met rapidly. The growth of cloud computing raises many new challenges and concerns about climate change and energy-efficiency add a new dimension to product development.

Many organizations have taken it out of CSR and incorporated cross cutting measures across the whole organization; some even have Chief Energy Officers Energy efficiency is clearly a low hanging fruit. It is the easiest and quickest thing companies can to do reduce OPEX. Often telecommunications service providers fund that more than 45% of OPEX is spent on energy. Some obvious examples can be found in data centres, and innovative techniques such as water cooling, passive cooling, flywheel storage, virtualisation of servers and data centres, have reduced OPEX considerably..Yet as this is a nascent field, there are no clear best practices and it is important to create a platform for debate and dialogue. KEY QUESTIONS: - Can we break the old linear model of production, consumption and waste? - Are there best practices for greening ICT products, production, consumption and waste and a company's supply chain? - What are the replicable green business practices that can be taken to make great strides to significantly reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) for businesses? How can ICT be used as a tool to reduce carbon footprint of companies? - What are the KPIs for successful sustainable business practices?

Wednesday, 07 Oct 2009, 14:00 - 16:00, Room E The expansion of the Internet has included and often been led by younger users, sometimes with little, if any, parental oversight or guidance on the dangers of cyberspace. In some developed countries, children get their first mobile phone at eight years of age or younger, allowing them in many cases uncontrolled access not only to text and picture messaging but also to the Internet. The widespread availability of inexpensive web cams and the integration of higher definition cameras into mobile phones or other handheld devices have compounded the dangers or created new ones e.g. the practice of "sexting"; sending sexual images between children, which can be manipulated or intercepted or are posted on websites. Bullying, the indiscriminate use of "chat rooms" on-line, access to age-inappropriate content and exposure to sexual predators are among the better known and more worrying problems which have come in the wake of the emergence of the Internet into the mass consumer market. KEY QUESTIONS: - What should government be doing to help make these technologies safer for children? What can governments do to increase children's awareness of the issues, and how can they help children keep themselves safe? What role can governments play in reaching out to parents, guardians and educators to help them help their children?

Furthermore, next generation mobile networks will provide customers with a step-change in user experience and therefore will act as an enabling platform for future services - promising top-line growth for operators, vendors and service providers. However, as the financial crisis currently shapes many strategic decisions, the focus for next generation business cases also has to be shifted to demonstrate tangible cost and efficiency improvements in network deployment and operations - this means going beyond capacity and service considerations. In the three introductory presentations of this session, Executives from Operators will give insights into their requirements and current plans to significantly optimise efficiency and performance in next generation mobile networks. In the following panel discussion, leading global ICT vendors will provide an overview on latest solutions and innovations to approach these challenges. Major items for discussion will include levers for increasing operational efficiency (e.g. self-optimising networks and operation & maintenance enhancements), and new measures to enhance the overall network performance (e.g. backhaul solutions, open network interfaces, bandwidth aggregation solutions and roaming). KEY QUESTIONS: - What are the main challenges to be addressed to ensure successful deployment and improved operations? " What are the solutions and innovations vendors can provide in the areas of operational efficiency? "What other technology enhancements are planned to improve network performance and capabilities (e.g. measures to enhance spectral efficiency and multi-vendor networks)?

There has long been a need to find new ways of sharing spectrum and, with a future dominated by mobile broadband and consumer video, addressing that challenge has now become paramount. Attention is now being focused on the use of lower frequencies for * Indicates confirmed participants 16/30 ITU TELECOM WORLD 2009 Forum Programme Forum Programme (28/05/2016) mobile broadband networks to provide wider coverage in rural areas and improved indoor penetration in urban areas. The availability of "digital dividend" spectrum resulting from the migration from analogue to digital terrestrial TV is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - but an opportunity that is by no means certain to materialise given other demands on this spectrum.

This session will highlight the difficulties in comparing one Green ICT innovation from another. Last year, the ITU-T created a Focus Group on ICT and Climate Change open to all. One of the key objectives of the group was to develop a methodology to describe and estimate the energy consumption of ICTs over their entire lifecycle. The Group completed its work in spring 2009. Customers who see the benefits of going green are often left confused or shortchanged. Exchanging ideas on these issues and seeing how better measurement can be implemented to help advance the Green ICT and avoid "green washing" will be a timely discussion for this audience. KEY QUESTIONS: - Can we adequately compare different green products or does this amount to comparing apples with oranges? - With the level of complexity and differing functions at the network and data centre level, is it possible to come up with meaningful metrics for the green industry? - How can we use measurements developed in other domains e.g. government policy? Is there a need to coordinate these various efforts?

Although states have the principal responsibility for action and industry drives innovation and investment in this sector, individuals and communities should remain the main beneficiaries. In this interactive session will engage panelists and the audience in an in depth exploration of key themes, priorities and challenges in eHealth for the future. KEY QUESTIONS: - How can ICTs transform health care? " What does it take to make eHealth a reality? - Are there differences between developed and emerging countries? - What can be learned from other sectors? - What specific actions are required now? And by whom? - How much will proper eHealth cost? And, how much will it save? - What needs to happen to accelerate the development of eHealth systems and drive their use?

At the same time, new mobile broadband device segments emerge with Consumer Electronics (CE) equipment and Netbooks. In addition, mobile broadband Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services promise to grow the addressable market even further. This means therefore, that the proliferation and increasing adoption of mobile broadband wireless devices are major drivers behind the industry transition towards next generation networks. Furthermore, the early availability and the right feature set of wireless devices, for the network launch in 2010, are essential to make this starting phase a success. In this session, Senior Management representatives from all major device manufacturers will provide insights into the current status and plans in the area of wireless broadband devices. Major items for discussion will be device availability, feature set and form factor for launch of next generation mobile networks in 2010, emerging device segments and services (CE, Netbooks, M2M) and (open) device platforms (e.g. Symbian, Android). KEY QUESTIONS: - How does the vendor device portfolio look like for 2010 and what are the features and capabilities? - What are the major challenges to ensure availability of devices and handsets? - How can the industry provide a fruitful environment for future service development and innovation given the ongoing fragmentation of device platforms? - Which services will leverage the capabilities of next generation mobile networks? - What is the device roadmap for the next years?

Simultaneously, we have customers adopting fixed broadband and abandoning fixed line subscriptions. Some innovations disappear, while others become ubiquitous. Manufacturers are increasingly relying on revenues from operators for services rather than equipment. For operators, voice revenues are diminishing in importance as they rely more on value-added services. KEY QUESTIONS: - How did companies respond to the global financial crisis, given that it was not foreseen? - How do companies plan ahead given the very rapid pace of technological change? - How do you respond when customers quickly flock to something or reject something else? " How do you move your company into a new business, such as IPTV?

There is a wide recognition that the most successful national ICTs strategies have always tackled two interrelated elements: infrastructure and an enabling environment. The latter is typically seen as synonymous with an enabling regulatory framework that encourages competition, privatization and market liberalization. But for emerging economies, this is clearly too simplistic. Emerging markets present particular starting conditions that cannot be addressed by blindly copying regulatory frameworks from developed countries that have completely different historical contexts and telecom infrastructures in place. Generally, the right regulatory environment means finding a balance between creating competition, improving access (whether to basic services or to broadband) and attracting investment (in the case of developing countries, typically FDI). But emerging telecom markets typically differ greatly from mature markets. Usually the fixed-line penetration is substantially lower while mobile penetration is much higher. Yet, build-out of wireline infrastructures is seen by many as the most "future proof" solution for longer term ultra-broadband access. Particularly in a troubled global economy with capital markets tightening up, finding the right balance means that regulators have to juggle between promoting investment in infrastructure versus promoting service-based competition. This session considers whether a 'rethinking on regulation' needs to take place in developing economies, particularly when a national ICTs infrastructure has become an underpinning layer of networked economies and information societies.

Unwanted traffic, choking of the routing system, mobility, congestion, privacy, trust and reputation issues are all restricting progress. The very structure of the internet has to change to meet these challenges. Does the future internet mean a shift from the end-to-end principles towards a trust-to-trust principle ? Will the internet evolve from from interconnecting nodes towards interconnecting information ? What are the new mechanisms to improve the quality of end-to-end connectivity and new ways of information storage and delivery?

A wide array of tools has been developed, including market analyses and impact assessments, plus instruments such as number portability and mandated sharing of infrastructure. Are such tools appropriate in the next stage of market development? KEY QUESTIONS: - Is the future more of the same or is there a Regulation 2.0? - How do we measure competition and can there ever be too much? - What is the most important tool for future regulation? - Is there an end-game, a way to withdraw from regulation?

Issues in contention range across physical and logical networks, encompassing areas such as interoperability, interconnection and access to facilities and services, and the development of open networks. Patent and IT licensing practices in the area of network architecture further add to the level of complexity. Any effort to unravel these issues also requires an unbundling of the value chain, involving a consideration of outsourcing and partnering in infrastructure, network operation, and maintenance and services.

Yet on the same token, it is a tool to reduce the carbon emissions of other industries by a lot more. For Green ICT, as a tool, to become a reality, it is important to see how governments and businesses can pave the way to ensure a strong business case for Green ICT. Whilst going green clearly has an impact on operational costs, it is sometime not clear if a return on investment greater than 3 years can justify an increased capital expenditure for going green. This is especially so for businesses that run on a quarterly reporting structure. Added to that, renewable energy is often costlier than burning fossil fuels. The right policies and practices can enhance the business case to go Green for the ICT industry. For example, incentives can be in the form of government and business procurement policies which helps ensure a market for big and small suppliers to grow their base and continue to innovate. Meanwhile, governments can lead the way with the right policies. Some government such as Canada have introduced the concept of "Green bandwidth" i.e incentivizing people to be more energy efficient and they are rewarded by broadband connections"- meets the need to grow a renewable energy industry and the broadband industry in one swoop. These and many more innovative policies, including carbon taxation, cap and trade, cap and dividend etc, will be explored. KEY QUESTIONS: - Is there a clear business case to go green or should governments step in to help * Indicates confirmed participants 23/30 ITU TELECOM WORLD 2009 Forum Programme Forum Programme (28/05/2016) businesses go green e.g carbon taxation, or the use of green ICT as a vendor selection criteria in procurement practices? - Are there innovative business or government policy and practices that have been shown to lead the way for green innovation in ICTs?

Mobile services have stimulated economic activity, enabled innovation, and improved people's lives. Mobile Internet may well be the way billions of people, especially in emerging countries, will connect to and experience broadband connectivity. This session will examine the necessary enablers and potential barriers to the full and rapid development of the mobile Internet as a platform for sustainable economic growth. KEY QUESTIONS: - What is the link between mobile services and economic growth? - What are appropriate business models for mobile services in emerging countries? - What are key necessary enablers of next generation mobile services? - What is the right balance between market and government in the development of new mobile services? - What are potential barriers to the development of new mobile services and the mobile Internet?

The objectives of the panel is to discuss the current trends, status and future evolution of accessibility and ICTs, assistive technologies and e-health... Within an accessibility framework, assistive technologies and e-health are playing an increasing important role as they are designed to help any person with any ability, to achieve greater independence at all levels, at home, at work and in the normal life. The panel will be an excellent platform to share experiences and best practices for ICT policies, strategies and services, to meet the needs of persons with disabilities.

This reinforced the findings in the IPPC's Fourth Assessment Report released just before the UN Bali conference in September 2007, which included an extensive perspective on the close linkages between climate change and sustainable development. Climate change is the latest in a long list of developmental stressors that challenge our ability to achieve the economic and social objectives that define sustainable development. KEY QUESTIONS: - How can we bring the climate-change adaptation/mitigation and development communities together to promote sustainable development? - What role can be played by the ICT sector? This session considers the key issues currently on the table for developing economies with regard to climate change and to ICT developments. - While recognizing that sustainable development and adaptive capacity for coping with climate change often have common stressors (e.g., access to water resources, food supplies), what weight should developing economies give to climate change when development priorities might argue otherwise? - What role can ICTs play in creating synergies with these development priorities? * Indicates confirmed participants 27/30 ITU TELECOM WORLD 2009 Forum Programme Forum Programme (28/05/2016) Moderator * Mr Graham Vickery, Head, Information Economy Group, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, France Panelists * Mr Dan Bross, Senior Director of Corporate Affairs, Microsoft, United States * Mr Parvez Iftikhar, CEO, Universal Service Fund, Pakistan * Mr Bhushan Raj Shrestha, Chairman, Nepal Research and Educational Network (NREN), Nepal (Republic of) * Dr Carolin Richter, Director, GCOS Secretariat, WMO, Switzerland * Mr Patrick Kalas, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, Switzerland * Mr Souheil Marine, Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), ITU CoWI.4 : ITU - WIPO Symposium on Dispute Resolution at the Crossroads of Information and Communications Technologies and Intellectual Property. Thursday, 08 Oct 2009, 16:30 - 18:00, Room A Session 4 of 4: Dispute Prevention and Resolution at the Intersection of ICTs and IPRs In today's rapidly evolving ICT and IPR environment, there is a risk that policy will trail reality. As such, new approaches need to be found to cope with gaps and unresolved issues. As part of this approach, new processes for anticipating, preventing and resolving tensions and crises need to be developed. Such process could involve the creation of stakeholder platforms, the drafting of charters and agreements (e.g. User-generated Content of UGC principles) and the increased use of mediation and arbitration in the telecommunications and audiovisual sectors.

If infrastructures, devices, standardization and regulation are necessary to set up and to structure telecommunication ecosystem and its economy, they are insufficient to design and develop new services, new contents and new usages for their business and development opportunities. In prospect of the NGN and new protocols deployment, we propose to explore and design some possible future innovations that will allow improvement for health, transport, education, working or entertainment. The key question is how can these smart environments (intelligent object, remote monitoring, wearable devices, robotics, virtual reality * Indicates confirmed participants 28/30 ITU TELECOM WORLD 2009 Forum Programme Forum Programme (28/05/2016) or augmented reality) contribute to new innovations, sustainable development and wellbeing.
