Extended Call for Papers and Panel Sessions
21st European Regional ITS Conference
Copenhagen, 13-15 September 2010
Telecommunications at new crossroads:
Changing value configurations, user roles, and regulation
During the past decades, telecommunications and
IT have gone through fundamental changes
technologically, economically and politically
resulting in new challenges and crossroads.
Convergence between telecommunications, IT and
the media has reached a stage where entirely new
value configurations are taking shape. The role
of users is also changing with the widespread
growth of social networks and other user centred
applications. These developments raise new
policy and regulatory issues, such as the
governance of content and services. Regulatory
questions reappear in new forms in the
infrastructure area with the development of next
generation networks. Furthermore, ICTs are
increasingly applied in relation to energy
saving, health and environmental issues creating
new business potentials as well as new regulator/policy challenges.
All these and other topics will be dealt with at
the European regional ITS conference in
Copenhagen 13-15 September. Papers and panel
sessions in the following areas are called for.

* NGN and NGA ? economics and regulation
