"This was an excellent program to improve my knowledge in telecommunication systems not only in technical aspects but also in economic and business drivers. I have learned so much with all of the talks provided by many experts involved in different areas of telecommunications (technology, regulation, competition, etc.). I have been very impressed with the quality of the knowledge presented to me in all the courses. This program has really taught me the concepts that make me feel a lot more comfortable and confident in my current work.
