Live from Switzerland: highlights of showcase presentation of Bill Gates October 13, 2003 [General] | By anonymous 1. We are reporting live from Geneva, Switzerland, directly from Media Centre of ITU World Telecom 2003 conference - a global conference, that takes places once in 4 years. Look at this photo of Bill Gates, that we have taken during his presentation:
This is second time Bill Gates has such presentation at ITU conference - previously it was 4 years ago in 1999. Although there were no major new announcements about Microsoft smartphone during his presentation, there was hower one big announcement related to Vodafone-Microsoft deal:
... that however does not include delivering Microsoft smartphones to Vodafone (yet) but it is about using of Microsoft software in building infrastructure for web services. More about Vodafone-Microsoft deal read from our former news item here. Bill Gates was talking during his showcase presentation about many topics, and he also included some live demonstrations by his employees. We will be writing about it later in more detailed reports from this conference. One news item is not enough to cover it all! As an excerpt from his presentation here is however one interesting slide that Bill Gates presented:
... that proves that thanks to Microsoft smartphone the cellular network operators are able to achieve higher ARPU! In other words: it is very much profitable for operators to introduce Microsoft smartphones. As mentioned earlier: watch msmobiles.com later for more detailed reports about Microsoft´s offering in cell phone industry, that was presented during this conference.
