LIME powers international telecoms conference

By: LIME, Press Release

    - Event to tackle region-wide regulatory concerns of operators among other issues
     
    Kingston Jamaica, January 31st, 2012  –  Leading regional carrier, LIME has sponsored Capacity Caribbean Conference 2012, ‘the only C-level meeting for the Caribbean wholesale market’, which is set for February 7 and 8 at its new venue, Montego Bay at the Ritz Carlton Rosehall.

     

    The two-day event, which will feature other international telecoms carriers including Columbus Networks, Verizon, Global Caribbean Network and Atlantic Tele Network, is an annual networking event where players in telecoms focus on the wholesale side of the business. 

     

    Bringing together over 200 buyers and suppliers of wholesale telecoms capacity in the Americas, the conference is expected to highlight trends and issues such as data traffic in the region, the future of broadband as well as the regulatory concerns of operators. The regulatory session, will include presentations from the Office of Utility Regulations, Jamaica, Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad & Tobago and the Caribbean Telecommunications Union.

     

    Co-platinum event sponsor, LIME is a premiere carrier, with 21 cables in the region, which is one of the busiest routes in the world for traffic of internet-based services. This route places the Caribbean as a key data corridor for traffic between South America and North America, and is a signal growth area for the company.

     

    "Data traffic is growing in this region as fast as elsewhere in the world and all forecasts suggest that this is set to continue.  Fixed and Mobile Internet penetration and usage remains relatively low across most of the Caribbean however the advent of 4G, high speed fixed broadband, IPTV and cloud computing is driving rapid growth in demand for data, which in turn enables socio-economic development. 

     

    “Equally important, the Caribbean lies on the important South to North American corridor through which data capacity flows.  All of this underscores the need for retail operators, carriers, regulators and suppliers to be well aligned and this Conference is an important part of that process," explained David Crawford, Chief Operating Officer, LIME.

     

    Crawford, who is also a panellist along with fellow co-platinum sponsor Columbus International’s Brendan Paddick and Gabriel Holgado of Level 3 Communications will weigh in on a day-one discussion titled: Evaluating The Changing Landscape In The Caribbean Market Place; M&A Activity, Competition, Growth Opportunities.

     

    Capacity Caribbean Conference is a part of Capacity Conferences which hold a series of events around the globe, focused on the business of wholesale telecommunications. These unique events provide extensive networking opportunities, putting to meet decision makers from local, regional and international carriers and service providers in one space.

     

    High quality, extensively researched programmes ensure that participants have access to compelling content that will benefit your business.
