We also spend the same amount in training. We find that this split works well and ultimately provides value right down the supply chain. It’s great that you are finding so many opportunities worldwide to accelerate the roll-out in developing countries. The SCTE’s growing international reputation means that it is the acknowledged standard bearer for companies and technical experts to gain from the training we provide, who can then in turn help their communities and grow the industry. I feel very passionate about making that happen so that everybody benefits. And we saw lots of your friends from IPKO at ANGA COM this year! It was so lovely to catch up with them again. That’s right! They were delighted to come along and they made good use of the SCTE Bursary Programme. It’s one of the best things about being a member. I am glad they made it and you got chance to catch up on all their news. scte balkans news You can ask your question now by logging into the member section of the SCTE website and accessing www.theSCTE.eu/members/ask-the-experts or you can email us at technical@theSCTE.eu , citing your member number and question.
