you that the weekly online edition
has got a very warm welcome from
our readers and stake holders in the
industry.
There are two very important events
that are going to take place during
this October. The first, is the GI-
TEX Technology Week, comprising
on Gulfcomms, Telecoms Executive
Summit, GITEX Conferences, GITEX
Business Solutions and Consumer
Electronics, from the 17th to the 21st
in Dubai World Trade Centre. Teletimes,
as a media partner shall participate
in GITEX Technology Week
and cordially invites its supporters
and other visitors to visit Teletimes’
stand (# Z-46) in Zabeel Hall. The
second event is “Convergence to
Casablanca”, organized by SAME-
NA Telecommunications Council on
26-28 October in Casablanca, the
beautiful and historic city of Morocco.
Teletimes is also the partner
of SAMENA and will make its presence
positive and effective in that
summit.
In regard to our objective of providing
interviews with decision makers
and those who matter in the industry,
this time, exclusive interviews

affairs at Saudi Telecom Company
are included in the magazine.

interesting and informative articles;

this issue. You will find a few other
interesting stories; “The next web
phenom”, “Digital arms dealer” and
