    <title>Mar 26, 2009: Mobile+ Summit at Hyatt Regency Kiev</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The “MobilePlus Summit - Winning Strategies for a New Mobile Economy” will take place from 2-3 September 2008 in Kyiv / Kiev, Ukraine, which is the second largest and one of the most competitive mobile communications markets in Central &amp; Eastern Europe. The Ukrainian regulator is also planning to finally issue 3G licenses in the second half of 2008, in addition to the one license currently granted to Ukrtelecom. <br /><br />
One focus of the Mobile+ Summit in Kyiv will be the regulatory landscape in the region, including upcoming issuing of 3G licenses in CEE, CIS and Russia. A special spotlight will be put on the latest regulatory plans for the re-using of analogue radio and TV broadcasting spectrum, after the outcome of the WRC 2007 conference. We will also take a look at regulatory policies that foster healthy competition in maturing mobile markets.<br /><br />
Another major focus will be the monetization of mobile broadband, to secure ROI on 3.5G and mobile WiMAX technologies. Our major focal point will be mobile Value-added Services (VAS), with a special focus on EDGE and 3G / HSPA VAS. While take-up of mobile TV is problematic, mobile video-streaming is emerging as a key revenue driver for 3G/EDGE VAS, along with extensions of Web 2.0 applications to include mobile devices. Another major focus will be mobile and 3G advertising, including video calls, location-based advertising, etc. We will also be looking at other revenue streams, such as wallpapers, ringtones, etc.<br /><br />
As the markets in Central Asia are increasing penetration, and thus competition, they will soon face the same problems as the saturated markets in CEE. The markets in CEE have reached saturation with penetration rates of 100% and more, so we will be taking a look at differentiation and diversification strategies for operators, and ways to increase customer loyalty and reduce churn. We will also talk about how operators can take advantage of their fixed and mobile stakes to offer fixed-mobile convergence products as an added value to consumers.<br /><br />
