ACIF Forum - Future Wireless

ACIF Forum
Future Wireless
Hosted by

The Future Wireless forum will:

discuss the challenges for integrating Broadband Wireless technologies with legacy networks; and

hear the proposal for the ACIF project to define how industry should structure itself to do it.

"New and non-traditional providers of networks and services should be encouraged to participate in industry self-regulation processes and in ACIF's work on NGN issues".

"The strategy and workplan to deal with the broader transition to NGNs should be implemented by the Department in consultation with ACMA, the ACCC and relevant industry and consumer bodies."

November 2005: DCITA Report recommendations to the Minister for Communications IT and the Arts.
