The world’s media to experience a virtual ITU TELECOM WORLD
Key moments of leading ICT event available by Vodcast
Hong Kong, 5 December 2006 - To open the world’s leading ICT event to the world’s media, ITU will be providing downloadable videocasts of TELECOM WORLD forum sessions and debates to accredited media.
ITU TELECOM WORLD 2006, which takes place in Hong Kong from 4 to 8 December is expected to attract over a thousand members of the press. However to meet demand from journalists and editors who are unable to make the journey to Hong Kong, ITU will be recording and streaming key sessions that can be downloaded online to accredited journalists within 24 hours.
Forum sessions currently scheduled for Vodcasting include:
Other sessions are available on demand. Should any member of the press wish to see a videocast of a particular TELECOM WORLD session, they should visit www.itu.int/WORLD2006/media_relations/accmedia/vodcast/index.html to register their request.
Francine Lambert, Head of Corporate Communication at ITU, spoke of the new initiative as a way of reaching a larger world audience than ever before, “The theme of TELECOM WORLD in 2006 is “Living the Digital World”. We are not just discussing the technology at the world’s disposal; we are taking advantage of it.”
