The Annual UCLA-WINMEC Mobile Carrier Forum will allow carriers and select suppliers to come together to discuss business and technology issues that are changing the landscape for the Mobile/Wireless Carriers. The reduction of voice ARPU, rapid proliferation of Voice over I.P. or VoIP, and global competition is rapidly changing the way in which carriers function. New business models such as convergence of voice and data infrastructure or the packaging of wireless and wireline services, etc., are being offered. On the technology front, Wi-Max and Wi-Fi offer alternatives for mobile/wireless for data and voice. The rapid pace of change is altering the competitive landscape and creating disruptions in this industry. Convergence between different technologies could squeeze out some services, while convergence would also create a new genre of services. Mobile carriers are invited to participate and discuss their existing challenges and emerging opportunities that convergence generates. Suppliers are invited to present their viewpoint and have an interactive dialog with the carriers on how they could assist the carriers through the current rapidly changing times.
