With the right combination of research, marketing, and networking, a Solution Provider can connect with Government and NGO (non government organizations) to find opportunities to secure contracts. Governments are already looking to leverage this technology and rebrand themselves to better their relationships with citizens. Solution providers can benefit by presenting creative and innovative ideas to government requests.
In this presentation you will learn:
•Key points regarding government “branding”
•Examples of live projects
•How to locate government contract portals

Dr Raul Katz of the Columbia Business School, USA, discusses national approaches to broadband rollouts and concludes most plans consist of one or more of three models, strategic planning, stimulus, or state intervention that are characterized in goal and intervention model. The presentation makes reference to the national broadband policies of USA, Australia, Singapore, Germany, Sweden, Portugal, Ireland, Canada, Finland and New Zealand amongst others.
The earthquake and tsunami to devastate northeastern Japan in March 2011 remains the world's natural disaster to hit a developed country to date. As part of the recovery, enormous effort has been focussed on rebuilding the communications networks involved. For the first time in English, a comprehensive article is available detailing many behind the scenes aspects and many interviews with the leading players in the communications recovery. The scale of this disaster recovery effort and preparations and protection pose major questions not merely for technology but also for public policy and regulation globally. The article was published in December 2011 in Intermedia, the world's most influential journal focussing on digital media policy and regulation. Intermedia is published by the International Institute of Communications. IIC is a global membership, independent, non profit body focussing on critical issues in media and telecom policy worldwide. The article was written by Stephen McClelland, Intermedia Editor in Chief.
Taylor Reynolds, a specialist analyst at OECD, argues that broadband is a once in a lifetime development for society, and a once in a generation upgrade, akin to the deployment of electricity. He points out against this background that competition forces have served the wider objectives of national broadband policies in terms of consumer-friendly pricing and ever higher speeds (particularly seen in the clear disappearance of broadband speed capping practices) around the world well.

HE Dr Abdulrahman Al-Jafary, Governor of the Communications and Information Technology Commission in Saudi Arabia reviews the range of challenges and tasks facing the communications regulator
Paul Kenefick, Vice President at Alcatel-Lucent in the US, says that all available analysis projects massive growth in broadband services, particularly in mobile broadband, but that users will continually be seeking more as third party content and applications also booms. The communications industry is moving fundamentally from a service provider-centric model to a user-centric model. The US needs coherent broadband policymaking that will drive sustainable private sector activity but analyses need to look beyond simple penetration levels into other factors. International comparisons are also relevant.
Carlos Lopez Blanco of Telefonica discusses a re-evaluation of "convergence" which has promised much but delivered little. Broadband must be seen as the key provision in convergence whilst policymakers need to overcome real challenges including a consistent enforcement of net neutrality principles, a strengthening of consumer trust and control and an alignment of international policy in data privacy and processing.
Next Generation National Broadband Network development - A ppp for an open ac...Mohamed Bouanane
As many countries seek to introduce greater competition there may be valuable lessons to be drawn from applying open access policies to next generation broadband infrastructure with partial public ownership or financed by utilities (e.g. backbone fibre associated with transport or electricity grids). Therefore, governments and regulators need to consider such policies – especially where there is insufficient competition – along with a public-private partnership to enhance capacity; speed, QoS and decrease costs so that the entire economy can continue to fully leverage its potential.
Big Broadband: Public Infrastructure or Private MonopoliesWayne Caswell
This paper contrasts the different incentives of incumbent ISPs, municipalities and other stakeholders, suggesting that the cost of extending fiber closer to premises is high enough to cause IPSs to cherry pick the most profitable customers, leaving others to fend for themselves. That’s where public broadband comes in, but the politics can pose obstacles for municipalities that want their own networks, so this paper also includes a section explaining the fears of various stakeholders. Incumbent phone companies, for example, fear competition from VoIP alternatives and are using their deep pockets and powerful lobbyists to delay competition as long as they can.

Presentation for the workshop "The role of the state in the promotion of the broadband" in Lima (Peru) May 18th 2011.
Given the central role of telecommunications in the global economy and in the lives of humans worldwide, an understanding of innovation in telecommunications is critical to understanding the global dynamics of innovation generally. The technical, economic, and political dynamism of the sector means that there could be no better time for this work.
Founded in 2006, the HetNet Forum is the only national network of leaders focused on shaping the future of heterogeneous wireless networks (the HetNet). The HetNet is a wireless ecosystem, comprised of a variety of mobile and wireless technologies and infrastructure, interoperable with the macro-cellular network providing harmonious voice and data communications.
Evolving technologies and changes in user preferences require ICT regulators to react dynamically and in an agile manner to facilitate fair competition and protect consumers.
The lines between sector- and subject-specific regulators may need to be redrawn. In some cases, more specialised regulators may need to be established, eg a data protection agency or a spectrum agency.
Evolving technologies also provide ICT regulators opportunities to become more effective and fine-tune tools. Big data and advances in AI allow regulators to become agile and dynamic, enabling precision, evidence-based regulations.
Sometimes, mapping out the road ahead requires taking a moment to look back.
Few industries have changed more during the past fifty years than telecommunications. Not that long ago, the industry was highly centralized; it was controlled by a handful of large players, centered on voice as the key channel, and information flow required physical wires that connected homes and businesses. Today, most telecom activity is wireless and the critical channel is the Internet. Data, text, and video overshadow voice, and traditional markets have been turned upside down through deregulation and lowered barriers to entry.
Daniel Arias of Telefonica Internacional argues that Latin America is a major success story in telecom and currently undergoing revolutionary progress in both fixed and mobile broadband in terms of deployment and penetration. Content is increasingly becoming available driven by many creative cultural reasons in Latin America and the Hispanic approach. Governments have been active in setting national broadband policies - and countries such as Brazil and Chile have placed substantial emphasis on these - but he points out broadband success will continue to come from a competitive private sector environment and although there is a role for government intervention it should be limited to those areas beyond the reach of the private sector.
James Speta of the North Western University School of Law argues that in the future, we face an effective reality of unlimited video channels. Media regulation will be therefore complex as traditional media regulation affected content indirectly by regulating market structure but the unlimited channel scenario suggests that this will be less effective because unlimited channels will reduce the market structure effect. This has significant implications for subsidy policies in content creation and distribution. Subsidies may still be needed if non-economic goals are important but the outcome may well be to reduce the politics of subsidies.
Reinhald Krueger of the European Commission summarizes the complex transition to a future regulatory environment in communications. Europe's new legislative package includes the provision for independent regulators, reinforced oversight, a fundamental transition to a competition-law only regime, a functional separation remedy and a specific EU body - BEREC. Increased regulatory consistency, more work on access products, and changes to broadband market regulation are also on the horizon.
Lawson Hunter argues changes needed for the policy environment particularly as regards broadcasting in an environment which has changed from over the air to wired IP archictecture and applications

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
