[Summary] => The recently concluded CommAsia 2002, held at the World Trade Center Metro Manila from May 9 to 11, offered visitors a mix of telecoms, IT and electronics exhibitors featuring their latest solutions and products.
The show was well-represented by large telcos such as Globe Telecom, BayanTel, Eastern Telecom, Meridian Telekom, PT&T and MCI WorldCom. There were also a number of resellers and service providers. What was surprising was the lack of handset manufacturers in the exhibit. Nokia was a major sponsor yet it was not represented in its own booth.
