Number Portability ’09

Hotel Barcelona Princess,
Barcelona, Spain

Now in its 14^th highly successful year, this event will provide both service providers and regulators from around the world with the perfect opportunity to come together and share knowledge, experiences, success stories and lessons learnt. Delegates will be able to network with fellow experts in the field and learn how they are developing and improving their NP solution, optimising the cost-efficiency and meeting the challenges associated with Next Generation Networks and IP interconnection.
