Globitel sponsors 5th Annual Arab Advisors Media & Telecommunications Convergence Conference

Globitel, the leading service provider of global telecom solutions, has sponsored the 5th Annual Arab Advisors Media & Telecommunications Convergence Conference, which was held in the Four Seasons Amman on the 2nd and 3rd of June.
The conference, held for the first time 2004, is touted as the ideal forum for networking, discussions and debates on the convergence trends underway in the Arab media and telecom markets. The convergence of media, telecom and information technology has pushed these three sectors to operate in an increasingly merged segment. This convergence, while causing potential threats to existing revenue and business models, also brings new opportunities for innovation.
During the conference, participants had the opportunity to attend the various speeches, presentations and panel discussions which incorporated key individuals in the media and communications industry in the Arab world.
Of the Globitel attendees, Mr. Belal Othman, Sales Director commented that “The Arab Advisor conference gave us the opportunity to network with people and meet many colleagues that we do not often have an opportunity to meet.  In addition, the various panels and discussions gave insight into a variety of different issues in the media and telecommunications industry in the region”.  
Globitel, one of the sponsors of the Arab Advisors event also showcased its services during the two days of the event.  Attendees of the event had the opportunity to visit the booth and try the services such as Background Tune and Collect Call which have been adopted and implemented on local operator networks.
Globitel has always been an avid supporter of innovation in the mobile services industry and has gained a reputation both on a regional and global scale for hosting events that open the gates of dialogue and experience-sharing, both of which are imperative in the creative process. Recently, the company hosted the Globitel Mobile Industry Forum, the purpose of which was to gather the largest possible number of decision makers from the world of mobile manufacturing so that fruitful experiences can be shared and discussed, and to come out, through a series of interactive and specialized discussions covering a large number of hot topics in the industry, with a clear vision and new strategies for the furthering and development of the mobile telecommunications industry.
