As always, we attend ITU Telecom World in order to benefit from global best practices, find out what is going on in other economies, borrow from their experiences and also share our own ideas on how we deploy services in emerging technologies, AI, 5G, the Internet of Things. Coming here will enrich our experience on how best we are going to do this.
Joining events like this gives an opportunity both to thank our partners, but also to showcase that when private sector, public sector and governments come together there is really a meaningful conversation happening - and action.
