"Every country in the region from Saudi Arabia to Iran, Palestine and Syria are all facing the challenges posed by a rapidly growing telecoms market - land-based, internet and mobile," he added. "The MECOM Summit will tackle these issues head on in the most important gathering of industry experts in 2008."
