Anticipating WCIT 2008

More about WCIT 2008

As a normal person, what would world big events like WCIT (World Congress in IT) 2008 really do ?

  1. First of all, consider it grandeurness ... It is about the world of IT coming to Malaysia
  2. Second thing, the VIPs (speakers). Expecting to see Bill Gates, Google's founder, Steve Jobs, Larry Olison, Michael Dell ? Only Bill is coming via Hologram this time.
  3. Information. The talks and speeches that are going to be happening offer a lot of insights to ICT enterpreneurs and whoever that is in the industry..

      Some of the talks are marketing-driven, some are evangelising-oriented... but I do reckon that some are really useful for the industry.. These include:

      1. Day 1 - THE WIRELESS BROADBAND REVOLUTION –“The Promises of Service – Driven Technology Infrastructure” by Allied Digital Infonet Bhd Is wireless broadband the best way to go? Let’s explore what are the possibilities.
        This will give a lot of insights to those in the telcos.

        This will also be useful for those in Telco industry

        technology opens up limitless possibilities for creative works. Where are we and where are we heading?
