Another reason to visit Iceland: Digital Reykjavik

Iceland is one of my favorite countries to visit in the world and is a living example of what a broadband based, always-on community represents.

A friend of mine, Gudjon Mar Gudjonsson is producing Digital Reykjavik in Reykjavik from November 26-28th.

The Digital Reykjavik conference explores the potential of a society where
every home is connected to a fiber network; how it affects citizens' lives,
the applications that will be available, the business models that will
sustain it and what is needed to make such a society a reality. This is
highly relevant as Reykjavik is on the verge of becoming the first major
urban area where every home is connected with a fiber connection.

Among their speakers are Esther Dyson from EDventure holdings; Gordon Graylish
Director of Communications Business at Intel; Tim Johnson the founder of
Ovum & Point Topic; Paolo Pastorino at Telecom Italia Lab; Taylor Reynolds
in the Policy Analyst, Strategy and Policy Unit of ITU; Mario Mella from
e.Biscom / FastWeb and more.

They also have company presentations from Microsoft, Cisco, nCube, Minerva
Networks, Tandberg Television, Scientific-Atlanta, Amino, TeleNor and others.

Digital Reykjavik seeks to cover the entire broadband industry, with special
focus on the business cases that will drive it.

If you are involved in the world of IP Communications, I strongly suggest you think about spending a few days in Iceland and catching up with the future.
