Emerging Markets AcrossWorld Communications Inc. Sponsors E-Business Conference in Turkey. Turkey is a rapidly growing emerging market at the junction of Europe and Asia. It will play an increasing role in the development of technology-based business in region and the world. For every subscriber there are over 2 users. There are already over 60 ISPs in the country.
Internet cafes are very popular, especially in smaller cities.
To date in Turkey, most access is via dial-up and broadband access is not common. AcrossWorld plans bring its secure managed network services to Turkey in the near future. In light of this expectation, AWC used the opportunity of the Conference to initiate discussions with several important Turkish enterprises about partnerships, alliances, and commercial relationships. Among these discussions were several with an important focus on applying Turkish experience, skills, and resources to build a global website for linking higher education students and distance learning resources. Others covered ways to enhance the computer usage experience of Turkish students through global Internet connections.
