Following last year’s successful videoconference on VoIP, which
allowed USTTI trainers to interface with hundreds of regulators and
entrepreneurs of the Americas attending
CITEL’s PCC.I meeting in Asuncion, the USTTI
and CITEL have reached agreement with the World Bank’s Global
Development Learning Network (GDLN) to utilize the World Bank’s
technical infrastructure to deliver elements of the USTTI’s wireless
broadband curriculum via a second videoconference.
The interactive videoconference will
be held on Monday, April 25, 2005; 2:00 -
5:00 PM, EDT, and will include USTTI
presentations, country presentations, case studies, and a question and
answer session.
To date, confirmed USTTI presenters include
representatives from Intel Corporation, Lucent Technologies, QUALCOMM Incorporated, and
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
