The LINK Centre is holding a free public seminar entitled, ‘South Africa, communications services and 2010 - e-readiness or e-rockiness?‘
The World Cup 2010. Two years and counting. South Africa’s telecommunications and broadcasting infrastructures are being upgraded for the event. Where does the work stand in 2008? Will South Africa’s communications services be up to scratch? Or is it time for a new coach? Or, are we playing for sudden death?
Will Hahn, Gartner Principal Analyst, Carrier Operations and Strategies Worldwide, has been tracking the South African ICT sector for many years. Join us on 17 November 2008 to hear Will’s thoughts on the local communications space, and how South Africa fares with the 2010 countdown clock ticking.

- How do service providers need to transform to deliver service excellence?
- What is the future for ICT services in a post-2010 converged market environment?
