New speakers from Ovum, ACCC and iPass announced for Melbourne Congress

CommsDay is pleased to announce three more top additions to its speaker line-up for October’s Melbourne Congress.

The CEO of the world’s largest Wi-Fi operator, iPass, will give an exclusive presentation to delegates on the first day. Gary Griffiths runs an operator which through partnerships offers an incredible 60 million hotspots in 120 countries including over one million in Oceania. Griffiths will share the global iPass “software as a service” story with delegates.

Meanwhile, in a year of intense activity by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission in the telecom arena the official at the coalface of it all will present to CommsDay on the same day. Michael Cosgrave is the executive general manager, infrastructure regulation division of the ACCC and has a 21 year involvement and inside perspective on where regulation and the market is heading.

Also, recent Ovum returnee David Kennedy will kick off proceedings on the second day. The Asia Pacific research analyst rejoined Ovum recently after a two year break. Previously he was with Ovum for ten years, the Department of Communications for six years and advised former Coalition senator Richard Alston for four years before that.
