Intense industry changes were the central topic and challenge for telecom community during the past few years. To name just one – five years ago, Apple sold their first iPhone ever. Since then, we are witnessing a booming market of tablet industry and smart phones. To keep up with the demand, service providers need to adjust their services, network speed, security and reliability. Even telecom, as traditionally highly profitable industry, has been impacted by negative disturbances of the global economy. Such development is adding pressure on telecom operators to continuously increase efficiency and improve their services in order to maintain profitability (even slightly lower) in the years of crisis. For example, mobile operators are pushing to acquire digital dividend for purpose of building 4G networks. Over the next years we will see even more communications, commerce, entertainment and service industries dependent on wireless services, making network reliability even more important. The biggest data consumption will be seen in video streaming and peer-to-peer (P2P) app lication usage. Since the number of smart phone and tablet owners who use their devices for video download is rapidly growing, the impact of video on the mobile industry will only continue to grow in the year to come. How will the telecom industry respond to the increased demand and maintain profitability in times when users’ purchase power is decreasing, will be very interesting to hear. 9th Telecom Arena 2013 will be an exciting place where trends, solutions, experiences and best practises from industry leaders will be shared, challenged and discussed. Through panel discussion, lectures and presentations we will present the most challenging speakers and companies on topics that are occupying telecom community in such demanding era for all participants on the market.

This is not only because it brings together in one place representatives of all leading companies, operators, regulatory bodies and institutions, but also because its open discussions, interesting lectures, important research and round tables give a unique perspective into the current market situation and clear projections for the future. Nives Sandri, Member of the Management Board of Nokia Siemens Networks Zagreb The initiative to hold Telecom Arena, a regional conference that brings together representatives of regulators, competent ministries, telecom operators and major regional users, has become a central event of the regional telecom industry. In addition to meeting and exchanging opinions with key people of the telecom industry and e-business sector, this conference also offers information on current trends in telecommunications and further ICT development and application. Such conferences allow us to evaluate where our companies, infrastructure and services are compared to the neighboring countries, EU and the world. The exchange of experience is an incentive for each participant to review its growth strategy in relation to colleagues from the region and to correct it in line with positive experiences. This should result in harmonized development of telecommunications in the region.
