What They’re Saying About NXTcomm08 and the Industry
What do you see as the biggest opportunities in the industry?
“Opportunities abound in the so-called BRIC economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China) who are currently the global economic drivers. Telco networks here are expanding so fast it creates huge opportunities for all, whether you are dealing with network infrastructure or value added services and applications. By focusing on your strengths and forming partnerships to complete product offerings in your ecosystem, telecommunication equipment providers can move quickly into these markets and reap the rich rewards of fast expanding telecommunication networks in these economies.”
