Connect-World EMEA 2009 media pack Theme: The broadband connection - which one, to where? Broadband is no longer the future of communications; it is the present. Even in developing regions, broadband is more than a goal, it is the standard to be achieved. There are many flavours of broadband, both wired and wireless and each has its applications. In some regions, for some applications, fibre is an obvious choice, but in others it is impossible. Wireless, too, has regions and applications for which it is the obvious answer and others where it makes no sense. Some applications - mobile money, for example - will have a wide ranging impact upon commerce, the financial sector and the economy as a whole. Many other applications will change lives throughout the region. The EMEA region - geographically, economically and socially - is extremely varied and complex and so are the needs of its markets. This issue of Connect-World EMEA will explore not only the variety of technologies needed to meet the needs of the region, but more importantly, where the growing use of broadband is leading and how it is changing the future of the region and its people.
