Ad future trends and key drivers

• At our workshop in Brisbane the Address Council
  had the opportunity toreview the activities
  realized during the last year under the umbrella
  ofthe AD HOC Group.Among the main global
  address policy issues identified, the following
  futuretrends and key drivers to be included in
  any assesment were                - mobile
  (including handhelds)                -
  requirements that stem from the ADSL/ cable modem
  market                - voice, mutimedia and
  e-commerce                - fixed IP telephony,
  including VoIP and voice portals
  and                - electronic appliances and
  devices ( "Allways On").We would like to invite
  anyone with conserns and insights in theese
  matters,and the editorial comitte of the ad hoc
  group in particular, to the regionalpolicy fora
  to take part in future discussions on these
  matters.Sincerely,Hans Petter HolenAddress
