The exhibition area at ITU Telecom World in Geneva was substantially smaller than the last event held two years ago. Foot traffic Monday during the invitation-only pre-opening day was moderate and steady. Most of the meetings dealt with broadband and were invitation only. Chinese and South Korean companies had large exhibits. Some small nations such as Burundi, Rwanda and Angola also had large national exhibits. Russia had perhaps the largest exhibit, located next to the main entrance. Russia during this month’s ITU Council session made a substantial increase to its regular contribution to ITU’s budget. The convention runs through Thursday.
