TELECOM FINANCE EVENT ATTRACTS MORE THAN 300 BANKERS, LAWYERS AND OPERATOR COMPANIES AT THE 3RD ANNUAL EVENT

Within the context of current fast changing markets, the Summit heard from a range of experts who identified what they believed would be the hot investment markets for 2008. The discussion included how business models differ from operators in the developed world, where new licences will be awarded, and which companies would be the consolidators in 2008.

Given the new credit constraints, the experts pointed to the challenges in funding emerging markets deals and the lowered risk perceptions for private equity.
