The Columbia Institute for Tele-Information

This conference will bring
together policy makers, industry experts, and academics from the United States,
Korea and Europe to examine the perspective of "Ultrabroadband"
(i.e. transmission rates above 1Gbps on the residential market). It is a joint
event of the Chair on Innovation and Regulation in the Digital Economy (Ecole
Polytechnique - Telecom ParisTech - OrangeLabs) and is jointly organized with
the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI), and Korea Telecom.

Telecom and cable companies
around the world are planning to deploy ultrabroadband networks that require
significant infrastructure investments. There are important questions on applications,
demand, business models and regulatory conditions to resolve. In this conference,
companies will demonstrate ultrabroadband applications, and speakers will
explore the technological, economic, strategic, policy and regulatory dimensions
of ultrabroadband:
