The International Telecommunication Union has
cancelled the ITU Telecom Europe
show.
The event was scheduled to take place in Sofia, Bulgaria this
December, but it has been cancelled because of a lack of
support.
The ITU moved its mammoth Telecom World show from Geneva to Hong
Kong last year, and the Bulgarian event was seen as an opportunity
for European telecoms professionals to visit an event slightly
nearer to home.
There are other ITU Telcom events planned for Africa and Asia
next year,
but the
African one is now also in doubt, said the ITU.
The next flagship ITU Telecom World show will be moving back to
Geneva, but delegates will have to wait until 5 to 9 October
2009.
