On behalf of the WTC 2014 Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the World Telecommunications Congress 2014 from June, 1 to 3, 2014 in Berlin, Germany. The theme of WTC 2014 is "Telecommunications: Enabling Infrastructure for the Future".

Telecommunications is the major enabler of new ways of working in the 21^st century. There have been dramatic changes in network architecture and service capabilities over the past 20 years in response to new needs and applications.
The World Telecommunications Congress brings together leading experts from industry, academia and government to map out the future requirements for telecommunications technologies, applications and policy.

The World Telecommunications Congress builds on the traditions of quality, timeliness and open interaction from its origins in the ISS (International Switching Symposium) and ISSLS (International Symposium on Services and Local Access).

I would like to thank all the members of the organizing and steering committee for their constant support and valuable work.

I am very pleased to invite you to attend the WTC 2014 and are looking forward to meeting you in Berlin.
