The ICFC is designed by industry experts specifically for Communications Professionals. The theme of the 1999 conference is "Challenges for the Next Millennium: Implications of Global Alliances and Local Competition." In 1998 alone, proposed U.S. telecom mergers included Bell Atlantic/GTE, SBC/Ameritech, AT&T/TCI and MCI/Worldcom. Global alliances included AT&T with British Telecom and Sprint with Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom SA. In addition to these strategic events, competition has accelerated on the local level. In the U.S., the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and subsequent orders from the Federal Communications Commission have laid the ground rules for local competition. In Europe, national carriers lost their monopoly status on January 1, 1998. These changes have far reaching effects on the industry and on professionals in telecom and internet marketing, forecasting and demand analysis. The 1999 ICFC is the ideal forum for understanding of these issues in up-to-date research presentations by professionals in communications marketing, forecasting, and demand analysis. If you want one cost-effective conference this year targeted to your needs – this is it!
