From IoT implementation to consolidation, the Caribbean telecoms market is going through a dynamic phase. Redefining growth strategies and modernising the way businesses operate are a priority for many carriers to succeed in the ever-changing digital world. This session explores the current M&A activity, digital landscape, market disruption and strategies that carriers are using to adapt to the new digital scenario. Paul Scott, President, C&W NETWORKS Rory Kyte, Director of International Business, DIGICEL GROUP 10:35am Coffee & networking break 11:30am Case study: Assessing the benefits of collaboration between internet service providers (ISPs) and over-the-top (OTT) players A leading expert analyses the complex relationship between ISPs and OTTs, the role of both in the prevalent digital scenario and how an improved collaboration can lead to efficient content delivery. Gabriel Recalde, Senior Policy Analyst, GOOGLE 11:50am Case study: Strengthening connectivity in the Caribbean: Meeting the surge in demand Across the region bandwidth demand is growing, due to an increase in regional infrastructure investment. Existing fibre-optic connectivity is technologically disadvantaged and undersea cable links across the Caribbean are exceeding their lifespan. Examining the surge in demand across developing countries in the Caribbean is critical to develop infrastructure that will strengthen connectivity in the region. This session will explore new technological advances and key insights on the deployment of the Deep Blue subsea cable system. Stephen Scott, CEO, DEEP BLUE CABLE 12:15pm Panel discussion: Examining disaster recovery strategies: Planning for potential outage and ensuring continuity The Caribbean has been left with catastrophic damage to its telecom network infrastructure by recent hurricanes and storms that hit several islands in the region. Critical regional infrastructure has been affected and measuring the impact and disaster planning is essential to face future natural disaster threats. This panel examines the aftermath of the hurricanes that have passed over the Caribbean islands and discusses the considerations that need to be addressed after damage to critical infrastructure.
