Wireless Services in Iraq
December 01, 2004;
Conference about Opportunities for wireless companies in the implementation of wireless infrastructure and services in Iraq.

Main conference: Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th January 2005
Venue: London Hilton Kensington Hotel

Years of instability, war and economic sanctions, have left Iraq with low levels of fixed line telephony services, allowing wireless communications to play a significant part in the country's developing telecommunications market.

Six months after the transfer of sovereignty in Iraq investment opportunities are plenty for companies willing to play a role in the rebuilding of Iraq's wireless telecommunications network. With 3 GSM licences awarded in 2004 and opportunities in alternative wireless solutions, the need for wireless infrastructure, masts, antennae, and mobile handsets is pressing.
