ITU Telecom World is the most important event of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) for worldwide telecom industry and it is held every 3 to 4 years. Since its first hosting in 1971 in Geneva, Switzerland, it had never been held elsewhere.

According to the Hong Kong Government, this event attracted more than 61,958 individuals from overseas and brought in revenues of approximately HK$900 million.[1][2]

Programming

The event was divided into two parts: an Exhibition and a Forum. In the exhibition, the newest telecommunication equipment, service and technologies were showcased to visitors. In the forums, participants discussed policies, regulations, technologies, business applications and business environments.

Local media programming

To match up this exhibition, the convention invited Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) to be a "Host City Special Media Partner". TVB recorded the speakers in the forum and broadcast the footage as part of the television programme "ITU Telecom World 2006". TVB Jade and TVB Pearl provided a live feed during the exhibition.

gollark: Which doesn't explicitly forbid E2E, but of course if you can't *see* what people are sending it might be EVIL CONTENT!!!!
gollark: The general idea, assuming it's the "EARN IT" (these terrible acronym names need to be stopped) thing, appears to be to only provide some "section 230" immunity-to-liability-from-most-user-content thing to companies which either "comply with “recommended” “best practices” for the prevention of online child exploitation conduct" (yes, as usual children are the excuse) or implementing "reasonable measures" for that.
gollark: <@199529131224989696> Not entirely. It's sensible to *try* and protect your privacy a bit.
gollark: (though maybe not actually workable in practice)
