TORONTO – It’s all about the users. That’s the underlying theme to this year’s Canadian Telecom Summit, taking place June 16-18 in Toronto.

Bringing together the people who are transforming Canada’s telecommunications industry, the 2008 Summit will feature 20 keynote speakers and 50 panelists discussing the theme “Maintaining relevance for the customer”.

Leaders of some of the major players in the mobile wireless auction will share their perspectives, including Nadir Mohamed, President and COO of Rogers Communications, who will open the conference on June 16, Pierre Blouin, CEO of MTS Allstream, and Robert Depatie, President and CEO of Videotron.

With global companies lining up to partner on the new spectrum, delegates can look forward to hearing from executives of two prominent services providers: Bill Archer of AT&T and Clive Selley of BT. As well, both CRTC Chair Konrad von Finckenstein and Sheridan Scott, Commissioner of Competition at the Competition Bureau, will address the Summit.

Over the three days, delegates can also hear keynote addresses by leading Canadian and international wireline & wireless service providers, information technology companies, global equipment suppliers, and government policy & regulatory decision makers.
