Barry ReynoldsPresident of FITCE Europe

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen, Distinguished Guests, Congress Participants

and FITCE Members

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 47th FITCE Congress

in London.

The theme of the Congress "Transformation Next Stop True

Convergence" is a very apt title for this years Congress. In the 1700s

and 1800s, the introduction of Railways brought a huge change to the lives of ordinary

people. In the same way the introduction of affordable high speed broadband is making a

real impact in the lives of ordinary people of the 21st century. This impact, with the focus

on peer-to-peer, media-rich communications is transforming Society, apart from totally

changing the ICT industry. The Congress themes of Transforming Lives, Transforming

Services, Transforming Networks have been well chosen to examine this impact and get a

clearer vision of what the future may bring and what convergence really is.

This International FITCE Congress will, as always, enable FITCE members, Congress

participants and distinguished guests, exchange ideas, views, knowledge and practices on

all the aspects of transformation, in a casual and friendly environment. This is not just

confined to technical aspects but also commercial, financial, legal and social aspects.

The papers to be presented have been carefully selected by the International Scientific

Committee, and I would like to thank them for their professionalism in putting together a

diverse, challenging and interesting Congress programme.

I would like to thank all the sponsors and patrons for their invaluable contribution to this

years Congress, without which the Congress could not take place. In particular, I would

like to thank the FITCE UK Congress Executive Committee, for their professional,

dedicated and tireless work in preparing the Congress over the past 18 months.

Finally I wish you all an exciting and successful FITCE Congress 2008, and a wonderful

time in London.

Kind Regards,

Barry Reynolds


Millie Bannerjee CBEChairman of the Congress Executive Committee

I am pleased to be able have this opportunity to welcome all

the delegates and their partners to this, the 47th FITCE

Congress in London, the next Olympic City. Those of us who

have been involved with previous FITCE congresses will not

be surprised to note the high quality and wide ranging

papers that are due to be presented. The topics covered

support this year’s theme “transforming lives, transforming

services, transforming networks” and are a demonstration of

innovation that is the hallmark of today’s communications

industry. I hope that you will agree with me that there are few more exciting

industries in which to work and which hold such potential to make the life of

citizens more fulfilling.

I would like to specially thank the presenters and the very distinguished list of guest

speakers who have very kindly given their time to make this Congress so

worthwhile.

My deepest gratitude goes to our very generous sponsors – BT, UCL, TCS, and ITP –

without whom the event would not have been possible. Lastly on behalf of FITCE I

would like to give special thanks to ITP whose executive team have worked

tirelessly to do every thing possible to make this Congress successful and enjoyable.

Welcome to the 47th FITCE Congress.

Kind Regards,

Millie Bannerjee


Lucy WoodsChairman, The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals

The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals (ITP), the UK’s

independent representative for the telecommunication’s sector, in

conjunction with FITCE, welcomes you all to the 47th annual

FITCE Congress here in London. We have worked closely with

FITCE Europe over the past year in preparation for this Congress

and we believe it will prove to be an informative and lively event.

Our theme is Transformation – how the converging communi ca -

tions industry is helping to transform lives, services and net -

works. I am certain that we will hear some very interesting and

thought provoking discussion on this theme as the event unfolds.

This event would not have been possible without the support of our key sponsors. I’d

like to join FITCE in thanking the Congress’s key sponsors, BT, Tata Consultancy and

University College London.

I know that FITCE Europe has once again selected a very fine set of papers for our con -

sid eration over the next three days. The authors and presenters represent a wide cross

section of our industry and we believe their presentations will demonstrate inno vation

and evolution in local and global transformation.

The ITP and FITCE are playing an increasing role in the ICT industry, both here in the UK

and in Europe. Our abilities to bring key industry leaders together to inform, debate and

influence the advancement of leading ICT technologies and services continues to be one

of our key strengths. The composition of our membership provides individuals as well as

corporate members with unique opportunities to interact and collaborate with the core

foundation of our sector’s knowledge base.

We jointly provide ICT professionals with the necessary tools, skills and networking

opportunities to successfully fuel their progression and advancement in the industry. For

service providers, network operators and manufacturers, FITCE and the ITP continue to

bring together senior management, from all over the world, to events that result in

business partnerships.

I would like to thank all those involved with the Congress for providing such an excellent

programme and I hope that delegates and partners enjoy the networking and hospitality

activities as much as the technical presentations.

Kind Regards,

Lucy Woods

Brendan O’MahonyCEO, The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals

As CEO of The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals(ITP), I’d like to join ITP chairman Lucy Woods in expressing ourpride at working with FITCE to present what promises to be amost enlightening and stimulating event.

Just to let you know a little more about ITP, our role, and a bitabout our history. The ITP has been providing information aboutthe latest developments in technology and industry trends to thetelecommunications industry for 102 years, and a large part of thathistory is naturally entwined with the history of BT and itsimpressive engineer ing progress over that period. We are now an

independent institute and have over 10,000 members from over 150 different telecomsorganisations. We publish The Journal which keeps members up to date with a variety ofcurrent topics and celebrates 100 years this year, and also publish our exciting newTelecoms Professional bi-monthly magazine. ITP also provides first class targetednetworking events for the members and with our publications are designed to improvecommunication, inspire broader thinking and promote best practice amongst members.

The ITP is involved in a number of development programmes such as our cross-industrymentoring scheme. We are also proud to be leading the industry with a new initiative tocreate for the first ever industry-led foundation degree, in partnership with leadingtelecom players. This is scheduled to be ready by January 2009. This initiative is aboutour objective of sharing best practice and involves a number of companies includingVodafone, EDS, Royal Signals, O2, Virgin, NHS, Orange and BT. The government is alsobacking this with funding. We are currently investigating the feasibility of anaccreditation scheme for our members.

Back to FITCE – during these three days we will see presentations from dedicatedprofessionals who have spent many hours preparing their papers and many more monthsresearching their topics, in order to share their views on the cutting edge technology andmarket forces which are shaping the future of our lives, services and networks.

From examining appropriate Telecom systems for providing Internet connectivity toremote schools in late developing countries, to building the world’s biggest software-driven next generation network, the scope of Congress is vast. It will no doubt prove tobe an illuminating event which will inspire all those attending.

Special thanks must go to BT as our headline platinum sponsor, Tata Consultancy ourgold sponsor and the University College London our silver sponsor who have showntheir commitment to the future of our industry by sponsoring this Congress.

Thanks also to the FITCE UK organising Committee for putting together such a diverseand inspiring programme and the many supporters who have given of their time andenergy to make this congress happen.

Finally I hope all of you have an enjoyable as well as successful FITCE Congress 2008,and that you are able to make the most of the many networking opportunities thatLondon’s 47th FITCE Congress affords.

Kind Regards,

Brendan O’Mahony
