Many leads were generated and the interest of the industry (in particular of the large retailers) in this solution was considerable.

i2i managing partners Ulrich Hammerschmidt and Steve Donald attended the 32nd Telecommunications Executive Circle in Frankfurt on September 24th.

Apart from some very animated discussions around the German telco market, regulation and market trends, the event also gave ample opportunity for networking.  Many interesting contacts were made and will be followed up.
