12.50 Round Table:
The use of broadband and new technologies: towards an
Ubiquitous society
Digital Divide reduction and larger market competition in the
Telecommunications sector are the main goals that Italy has to reach.
A step towards them is represented by the agreement between the
Ministries of Defence and Communications for the use of 3,5 GHz
frequencies that will lead to the Broadband Wireless Access licences
assignation.
Also Mobile WiMax is in the spotlight: its planned activation already
in 2008 could enable the use of broadband services in total mobility
mode. On top of this, requests by Mobile Operators, MVNO,
Broadcasters…are growing.
Therefore it becomes a greater necessity to have convergent solutions,
with the objective of providing better service to the public. This process
is evident both in private and in public sector - as shown the investment
of Public Agencies in new infrastructures, in wireless and in integration
with existing networks.
Which business opportunities does WiMax really offer, which
implications, which implied risks and developments? Which are
the still pending issues?

PERSPECTIVES AND SOLUTIONS TO BRIDGE DIGITAL DIVIDE
Room Expo Plaza I
Chairman: Maurizio Gotta, President – Anti Digital Divide
Hiperlan or WiMax? Will the WiMax frequencies assignation consider the needs of those areas subjected to the digital divide? Will broadband access be eventually guaranteed to everybody, everywhere? In the meantime, more and more municipal authorities are organizing on their own to supply their urban area and citizens with free wireless access.

WIMAX: REAL MARKET OPPORTUNITY?
(Paid Entrance)
Room: Brera
Chairman: Achille De Tommaso, President - Colt Telecom
The direction BWA is heading is clear: yesterday the keyword was WiMAX fixed, now the horizon is opening towards WiMAX Mobile.
Worldwide, in fact, trials and deployments based on these technologies are proliferating; this workshop will analyse basic aspects such as the technologic and regulatory scenarios or the frequency assignation tender models and criticalities, and technical and economic aspects, such as the underlying business models and market opportunities.
Eventually, a round table will give market players a confrontation ground.
