Objective
The telecommunications industry is currently
in a state of profound change in terms of industry structure and
supply chain. The public internet, personal computing and communication
devices, and the development of new wireless technologies are all
contributing to the emergence of new convergent services, new network
architectures, and new industry business models. The MET Executive
Development Program (EDP) gives participants an interactive opportunity
to gain a solid appreciation of the industry structure and dynamics,
taking into consideration the regulatory and competitive landscape.
This is the fourth year that the
EDP program is offered. While an overall assessment of the global service provider and equipment
vendor industries will be given, special emphasis will be placed
on the future of the North American scene, especially the implications
to the Canadian telecom and cable operators.
The EDP program leverages the
strengths of the university and its industry partners by featuring
lectures from leading academics, industry experts, and top executives.
The program is also structured to provide ample opportunities to
work and network with other participants from various areas of the
industry.
