Dear Colleagues and Members Geneva, 5 July 2007 - ITU TELECOM AFRICA 2008, the world class Exhibition and Forum and a major networking platform for ICT players from across the African region, will take place in Cairo, Egypt, 12-15 May 2008. The venue will be the Cairo International Convention and Exhibition Centre (CICC).
The African ICT sector has grown steadily in a number of core areas such as mobile, which has increased at twice the global rate over the past five years. Mobile phones have now surpassed fixed line telephone access on the continent; the growth fuelled by factors such as market liberalization and increased levels of national and international competition. Broadband, although still in its infancy, is expected to make the connectivity leap across Africa, leading to increased convergence and migration to next-generation networks.
