ARLINGTON, Va.-The Telecommunications Industry Association is sponsoring the first China-America Telecommunications Conference April 20-24 in Dalian, China. The U.S. Department of Commerce is co-sponsoring the event.
The Commerce department and TIA said the conference will facilitate dialogue between U.S. telecommunications companies and the Chinese Ministry of Post and Telecommunications officials.
“Our manufacturers are very excited about this opportunity to open one of the world’s potentially largest telecommunications markets, China,” said TIA President Matthew Flanigan. “With China’s plans to build the equivalent of a regional Bell operating company’s infrastructure each year until 2000, the business opportunities for U.S. telecommunications equipment manufacturers are boundless.”
TIA said the conference will lay the foundation for business leads. Another focus of the conference will be to discover the situational needs of the Chinese networks and to demonstrate technologies that could assist China’s telecommunications problems.
