GGF hosts Telecom Focus Session

Over the past 15 months, GGF has organized four sessions to discuss how grids will affect telecommunications service providers and their equipment vendors. These meetings have been the source of some debate as the focus and standards issues facing service providers has evolved. There is clear evidence that grids are having a significant influence on the future of telco providers and their vendors.

You are invited to participate in the upcoming focus session held during the Supercomm 2005 conference. Monday’s opening keynote by Ian Foster, “A New Era in Computing: Moving Enterprise Services onto the Grid” will introduce grids and the promise grids hold for organizations in the many industries, including telecommunications. This presentation runs from 9:45-11:15am.

Mark Linesch, Chairman of the GGF, will open the GGF Focus Session at 11:30am to be followed by discussions led by representatives from British Telecom, France Telecom, Nortel Networks, and several others. For full details of the agenda and location, please click here.
