SUMMARY:Emerging Communications (eComm) 2009
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/991261/ ] What?
      --------
      The leading-technology conference focused on telecom and communications industry innovation. 
      It’s the only event that brings thought-leaders\, developers and executives from across the telecom and Internet space\, together.
      Why?
      -------
      Cataclysmic change is facing the multi-trillion dollar telecom industry:
          * Telecom is becoming software
          * The cash cows of telephony and SMS will dry up long term
          * “Phones” are turning into general purpose computers
          * Applications innovation is being democratized
          * The media industry is converging with personal communications
          * Search engines and computer manufactures are encroaching into the space
          * The telecom kingdom is fragmenting daily.
      It means unprecedented opportunity for those ahead-of-the-curve.
      The debut 08 conference broke a lot of new ground and created a revitalized forum attracting 300 people and 80 speakers from 15 countries. 09 promises to build upon that foundation to create the only forum dedicated to defining and profiting from the post-telecom era.
      Major topics of 09 (so far) will include:
          * Mobile Social Networking (MoSoSo)
          * Open Handsets & the Open Ecosystem
          * Social Computing and the Social Web
          * Voice and Video Evolution
          * Convergence of Media with Personal Communications
          * Open Spectrum
          * Open Communication Platforms
          * Leveraging Cloud Computing
          * Towards 4G Wireless
          * P2P and Decentralization of Telecoms
          * Communications Enabling Business Processes\, Especially B2C 
          * New Forms of Contactability and Connectability
          * Emerging Markets
