Dr Marwan Al-Ahmadi, CEO Zain Saudi Arabia and Mr Nasser Bin Obood, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Etisalat will add further value to an already strong conference programme.”
One of the main themes running throughout GSM>3G Middle East - Towards a Broadband World, 15-16 December, Dubai UAE (www.comworldseries.com/me) is convergence and addressing new revenue streams and technological developments for operators in a market with high mobile penetration.
