Direct Speech
|
Alexander Krupnov,
ICU President: «As the mobile industry is one of the few parts of the private
sector currently capable of providing an economic stimulus, governments
need to ensure they adopt policies that encourage more investment in
mobile services and networks. Wherever possible, governments should
seek to create a stable regulatory environment to encourage spending
on network infrastructure and services, stimulating economic growth»
Speech on GSMA's Leadership Summit (Barcelona,
16th February, 2009) 
Andrey Skorodumov, ICU CEO: «Telecom leaders called for governments to support the rollout of mobile
broadband services to drive economic growth. Industry and the authorities must
work together to find sustainable business models for mobile broadband. Mobile
broadband might have the same deep changing impact on people's lives as
basic mobile services have had»

16th February, 2009) 
Igor Schegolev,
Minister for Telecommunications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation: «Today new infocommunication technologies are the key factor for transition of Russia to innovation economy. ICU participation in 3GPP as a fully legitimate partner opens new possibilities for rapid introduction of Russian progressive developments into practice. Such Forum is being held for the first time in Russia and I hope that it’ll become a good foundation for international experience exchange in the field of telecommunications»
Greeting to the participants of the 3GPP International Forum (Moscow, 8th October, 2008) 
Nikolai Rizhkov,
Chairman of the Council of Federation Commission: «This Forum will serve to standardization and introduction of future perspective
technologies, open wide possibilities of beneficial co-operation between our organizations
for effective task accomplishment of new technologies and services introduction in the
interest of global information society construction»
Greeting to the participants of the 3GPP International Forum (Moscow, 8th October, 2008) 
Vladimir Gorbachev,
Deputy, Vice Chairman of the State Duma Committee: «I am convinced that International 3GPP Forum will give a unique opportunity to analyze

market development. It will serve to enhancing efficiency of operating technologies and open a
new page of successful in-depth interaction in the sphere of telecommunications and
informatization»
Greeting to the participants of the 3GPP International Forum (Moscow, 8th October, 2008) 
Adrian Scrase, ETSI CTO: «Thanks to the International Forum, for the first time in 3GPP history cellular

weather the downturn and our industry is arguably one of governments' best answers
to that downturn, in generating jobs, innovation, productivity, high technology and
doing so in a more environmentally sensitive way»
Opening Keynote, Mobile World Congress 2009 (Barcelona,
February 17, 2009)

Alan Hadden, GSA President: «Business users and consumers can today browse the Internet or send and
receive e-mails using HSPA-enabled notebooks and modems as well as send and
download video or music using their 3G/HSPA phones. Several operators are
upgrading their networks this year with evolved HSPA (HSPA+) enabling 21 -
28 Mbps peak downlink data speeds, even higher later. LTE is the next step
in the user experience and will further enhance more demanding applications
such as interactive TV, mobile video blogging, advanced games and
professional services. LTE will deliver significant efficiency improvements,
more capacity, higher data speeds and reduced latency. And LTE is on track
with global industry support and 26 operator commitments already, including
10 networks expected to launch in 2010»
