NTT Com’s Michael Wheeler Joins World’s
Leading Carriers and Content Providers in Keynote Panel
Discussion
NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the global data and IP
services arm of Fortune Global 500 telecom leader NTT, announced
today that Michael Wheeler, executive vice president of NTT
Communications Global IP Network at NTT America, will participate
in the keynote panel at this week’s Capacity Latam 2017 conference
held in Rio de Janeiro.
Capacity Latam 2017 is the largest annual gathering of wholesale
telecommunications service providers, carriers, vendors,
subsea-cable and satellite companies in Latin America. The
conference, that runs March 28 and 29, is expected to draw more
than 500 industry leaders from over 150 companies.
Mr. Wheeler will be one of the panelists in the keynote
discussion “Understanding the Requirements for Carrying the Content
of the Future” on Tuesday, March 29th, at 9:50 a.m. local time. The
panel will focus on the relationships between content providers and
global carriers in Latin America and, at the same time, explore how
new forms of content are influencing the development of new
infrastructure.
“Most countries are making a concerted effort to expand
broadband access while simultaneously seeking to increase
innovation and technology options,” says Mr. Wheeler. “Still, the
Latin American market remains varied and diverse, as different
countries have individual needs, economic conditions,
infrastructure and regulations.”
Despite uncertain economic conditions, the region continues to
see growth in broadband access. Mr. Wheeler believes that
growth is fueled by the continued modernization of infrastructure
which, in turn, increases demand and attracts new players to the
Internet ecosystem.
Industry research suggests that the telecom industry is a
critical force for disruption and innovation across multiple
technology industries, including content distribution, big data,
cloud-based services and the Internet of Things (IoT).
“Collaboration between content providers and global carriers in
Latin America, as throughout the world, can result in win-win
opportunities for all parties involved,” adds Mr. Wheeler. “Leading
wholesale providers such as NTT Com have the scale and resources to
offer content providers and other Internet-centric businesses the
capacity, expertise and global footprint their customers
demand.”
With an extensive IP backbone that’s ranked as one of the
world’s largest and most reliable, NTT Com is uniquely positioned
to address the market needs and challenges in the region. Even
before establishing a Point-of-Presence (PoP) in Sao Paulo in
2011, the company has been actively working with regional Latin
American providers of Internet services (ISPs), content (ICPs) and
Internet-centric businesses offering best-in-class connectivity to
international markets through its leading Tier-1 Global IP
Network.
