A big player in the telecom European market, Deutsche Telekom, was the second guest for the TechIE Club.

On the 28th of March, we received Stefan Behrendt, Senior VP for Corporate Development & International Business in T-Online, now part of Deutsche Telekom. Mr. Behrendt gave a detailed presentation of how the Telecom market is today being mixed with the internet business.

Lots of players converging like: operators, hardware and software vendors, service retailers, media companies, IT services providers, device manufacturers, infrastructure builders and finally lots of internet companies, leveraging specially the web 2.0 movement.

That's changing the way business is being done, as corporations are switching its former vertical structure with different business lines into a more horizontal one, involving most of the actors in the value chain.
