The forum was very enriching and eye-opening. The content of the presentation was specifically tailored to address the needs in Timor Leste, added Tito de Jesus, Chief of Information and Technology, Timor Gap.

Donald Chew, MD of Asia Pacific said, The feedback from the participants have been very positive and the live demonstrations have given them a new perspective on connectivity via satellite.
