Topic: What are we looking at .... Telecom projects in China

Abstract: Shortly after the 2008 Beijing Olympic, somewhere around 2009 or early 2010, the telecommunication landscape in China will change dramatically due to their WTO membership commitment that the market will be open to international competition. When we look at a potential market that can grow from the current 500 million users within a total population of 1.3 billion, it is certainly a challenge to any international organization who may wish to capture this potential opportunity. Program/Project Managers will be the Marines that will engage in project delivery to establish the beach head. We shall look at: * How the current service infrastructure can influence the strategy and tactics of telecom project delivery? * What resources (from infrastructures to IT engineers) are available in China that can help them to deliver their future engagement? * How are projects being delivered in China? * What are the challenges that may influence the success or failure of your assignment? Target Audience: * Program Managers * Project Managers, * Telecom Engineers * Business Managers * Anyone who wish to gain some firsthand knowledge of the current telecom market in China. Expected Outcome: * Audience will be able to understand how the current telecom market operates in China. * Be able to understand how telecom services are delivered in China * What are the market potential we are looking at * How to capitalize the opportunities present
