Vítám vás na 7. výroční konferenci ČAKK. Je skvělé, že vás můžeme opět uvítat v Praze. Moji kolegové a já se těšíme, jak doufáme, na vzrušující konferenci bohatou svým programem, na největší a nejzajímavější kabelově-televizní, mediální a elektronicko-komunikační představení v České republice v roce 2006. V tomto roce se primárně zaměřujeme na revizi předpisového rámce elektronických komunikací a s ní související otázky a problémy. Změny, které formují elektronické komunikace, jsou nejvyzývavějšími událostmi v našich životech, pojďmež tedy sdílet své úvahy, myšlenky i starosti. Všichni nepochybně sledujete změny, které mají vztah k sítím založeným na IP, jakož i k triple play či quadruple play, a jejich dopad jak na nás, tak na průmyslové odvětví. Konvergence dramaticky ovlivňuje prostředí elektronických komunikací a my jsme si všichni vědomi, že cesta vpřed povede prostřednictvím služeb IP a IMS. V této souvislosti se ČAKK domnívá, že její výroční konference nabízejí jedinečnou platformu pro odborné diskuze, cenné prezentace a také k vzájemnému setkávání které je tak důležité v rychle se proměňujícím světě. Když jsme připravovali program této konference, měli jsme na paměti činnost odvětví v celosvětovém měřítku, s dopady na konkurenční situaci na evropské (a také na české) trhy. Nechť se vám tedy konference líbí a ať je pro nás všechny přínosem! JUDr. Zdeněk Vaníček PhD FABI prezident občanského sdružení Česká asociace kompetitivních komunikací Welcome to CACC s 7th annual conference. It is great to see you again in Prague. My colleagues and I look forward to, as we hope, an exciting as well as eventfull conference, the biggest and the most interesting cable tv, media, and elcom show in the Czech Republic throughout 2006. This year we will primarilly focus on the 2006 Review and on all related issues and topics. Changes that are shaping electronic communications are the most challenging features in our lives, so let us share our thoughts, ideas, and concerns. No doubt you are all following all the activities related to IP based networks, and triple and quadruple play, and its impact on us and the industry. Convergence is dramatically changing the shape of the electronic communications landscape and we all know that IP and IMS services are the way forward. In connection with it CACC believes that its annual conferences offer a unique platform for expert discussions, valuable presentations, and also for networking so important in our fast changing world. The activity of the industry worldwide, with consequences for the competitive situation in the European (and also Czech) mar ke t s, is what we had in mind when preparing the conference programme. Enjoy it and have a nice conference!
