ITU Cancels European Trade Show
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) says that it is cancelling its forthcoming ITU TELECOM EUROPE 2007 in Sofia, Bulgaria, which was scheduled for December. The ITU says that the decision has been taken in order to focus capacity and resources on upcoming ITU TELECOM events as well as a number of new initiatives.
The announcement follows the first meeting of the ITU TELECOM Board of Directors, a top-level representation of major global ICT corporations and organizations, who met recently at ITU headquarters in Geneva.
"Naturally, the decision to cancel an event is a disappointment. However, we feel that we have reached the best decision for all event stakeholders, given the constraints of time in which we found ourselves operating," Said ITU Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun Touré. "I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the Bulgarian authorities for their initiative to host ITU TELECOM EUROPE 2007 and I look forward to other opportunities to collaborate in the future."
