In his presentation, Nasser bin Obood set the scene for future of the telecommunications sector and presented a vision for the future convergence of applications, content, network infrastructure and access devices.

"As markets develop and alternative ways of accessing the same services are introduced through new technology innovations, the provision of convenient, tailored and attractive bundles of services will become important to ensure the operator remains competitive. As such Quadplay is one strategy which operators must consider for the future."
