Less of the Same: How To Sell To The High Street #Carriers World

The agenda for this years #CarriersWorld, the first to be organised by Total Telecom has just gone online and you'll notice the change. There's definitely a new variety in the speakers and the topics and many more networking opportunities to provide increased relevance to the wholesale carrier community.

Like Eric Craig, Director, Carrier Partners, at Virgin Media Business. His background isn't telecoms but GlaxoSmithKline and PepsiCo, so he is uniquely qualified to give a whole new perspective. Indeed it interesting to watch this video he made a couple of years ago "How To Sell To The High Street".

Of course we haven't ignore the big names like Beatriz Butsana-Sita (B.T.), David Jan Aris (Liberty Global) and Mike Millegan (Verizon) - who Total Telecom interviewed at a previous Carriers World (see below)

We are confident that this years' Carriers World will be a refreshing change, so register today and take advantage of our dedicated networking manager, join in with peer-to-peer roundtable discussions, enjoy the end of day one party and much more...

Confirmed sponsors for this year include: IDT, Orange, Yota Devices, Virgin Media Business, Telenor, Arbitron Mobile, Surf Telecoms, and Deutsche Telekom. Find out more at www.carriersworld.com

Why #cloud isn't a compelling proposition

Reuters have reported on a recent cloud adoption survey by Symantec and have found few organisations are adopting cloud computing and that those that have are generally disappointed.

This is a worry for telecom operators, many of whom are viewing cloud as a great opportunity - as will be discussed by a panel including BT Wholesale, PCCW Global and Orange Business Services at Total Telecom World. However the findings also highlight were the opportunity lies for operators to address the issues and restore confidence. In a recent Carriers World interview with Total TeleVision, Rakesh Bhasin, CEO of COLT, flagged up issues including, ease of doing business, security, and understanding the customer, closely echoing the findings of the Symantec research.



In December Total Telecom will host our next generation cloud services breakfast briefing, clearly how to make cloud computing a compelling option for the customer must become part of the mix.

In just one week Total TeleVision has been in three cities. Last week it was Paris for Broadband World Forum and London for Carriers World, this week it's Dubai for Telecoms World Middle East.

The result is even more fantastic content for Total TeleVision, even though the volume is causing a bottleneck in the production process!

So far we've released four excellent videos from Carriers World, including Ruth Pickering, Managing Director, Strategy & Portfolio at BT Wholesale, Rakesh Bhasin, CEO of COLT, Willem Offerhaus, CEO and member of the iBasis Board of Directors, and Mike Millegan,President - Global Wholesale, Verizon, with more to come over the next few weeks.
