Theme: Broadband fulfilling the promise of communications
While Broadband in the West is necessary to resolve congestion, in the developing world it is a bringer of hope, a tool of progress and a promise of prosperity. There, Broadband opens up capabilities with giant leaps rather than step-by-step, and make possible ideas such as desert techno-cities, high-tech tourism, remote contact centres and more. Broadband connects these regions to the world centres of business activities and allows numerous new initiatives to flourish. Reliable connectivity is the foundation of lasting business relationships – the promise of communication.

Theme: When mobile goes broadband
Mobile broadband is more than a question of bandwidth and speed. With mobile broadband we will all be able to communicate, access, share, research, develop and create information take part in social activities benefit, whenever convenient, from a host of vital services anywhere mobile networks reach world, from any terminal device. The availability of true mobile broadband is still limited in many regions, but it will grow strongly throughout the region in the years to come. Networks infrastructure deployment, affordable terminal devices, relevant local language applications and a concerted push by local service providers will all be needed - and are all coming faster than most of us expected.
It will be challenging to expand and finance network broadband capacity, especially since experience shows revenue tends to grow more slowly than traffic and that building and deploying new local content services to meet the competition generally involves a difficult learning curve.

Theme: Tying it together
Making it all work together effectively - the technology and its applications - in an economically viable manner is an extraordinarily complex job. Technological convergence, of course, plays a big part; without Swiss army knife multipurpose, multimode devices, and without integrated networks it will not, cannot, happen. Still, there are the ‘soft’ contributions of regulation, billing, applications, education and the like that tie the technology into society, the economy, businesses and our lives. Connect-World will look into this intricate interplay - the ‘soft’ mediation that lets technology - both hard and soft - function in the ‘real’ world. The theme for this issue will be <i>Tying it together</i>.

Theme: Wireless and portable - un-tethered ICT
Wireless, portable and mobile - or not - brings connectivity where wires cannot or, often, just do not reach. Wireless brings hope and opportunity to underserved and remote regions. Every ten per cent increase in telecommunications penetration, according to one often quoted estimate, brings an increase of at least 1.2 per cent in GDP. New technologies, mobile money - to cite just one, might bring even greater increases. What will be the impact of Africa’s extraordinarily rapid adoption of mobile and wireless technology?

Theme: Finding the way hard decision for African Telecommunications
The growth in data transmission, together with the exponential rise in video and images in general, and the tendency to funnel more through fewer, converged, networks are largely fuelling the need for greater broadband capacity and speed. Not so long ago, we looked to universal telephony as a goal all nations should strive for to meet the needs of their citizens. Today, the growth of the Information Society has raised the bar; universal access to broadband is now the goal - indeed the necessary pre-condition – for digital, economic and social inclusion. This has stretched the resources of governments, service providers, equipment suppliers, businesses and all others involved in the provision and use of broadband.
The need is evident, but there is much to do not only to rollout broadband access and pay for it, but also to make the best use of it to contribute to economic growth and the personal well-being of urban and rural users alike. What should we all be doing, what can be done, not just to provide broadband, but also to use it productively?
The theme of this issue of <i>Connect-World Africa and the Middle East</i> will be <i>Convergence and data – pushing the limits of the network, pushing the limits of economic and social development.</i><br>
