The Telco 2.0 team is feverishly preparing for the big brainstorm next week. We're processing the 60-odd stimulus presentations that will be given (helping to cut them down, make them audience-friendly, keep them to brief, make suggestions to improve) and planning the precise brainstorming process so we can generate some new industry insights and actions. We're delighted that people have spent a considerable amount of effort preparing special presentations to fit our focus and format. A big thank you to all.

We've now exceeded our target participant numbers and will be bursting at the seams on the day. Building the Tower Bridge Hilton in London was only completed in August, so we're asking them to put on an extension to house the extra people...

With the 'Mindshare' brainstorming process, we should be in for some very exciting discussion next week by the Thames.

For those who haven't been able to make the event, we'll be producing a number of in-depth Reports (Telco 2.0, Voice & Messaging 2.0, Ad-Funded Content, Broadband Connectivity, and IMS Services) after the event. These will be available from the end of Oct at very reasonable rates. More on this later...
