On September 30th of last year in Warsaw at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology of Warsaw University of Technology the Second International Conference on Quality of Telecommunication Services took place. The motto of the conference was “Quality Monetization in Telecoms”. The conference was devoted to aspects: practical, standardization and research related to quality of service. The conference was jointly organized by Systemics PAB, Institute of Telecommunications of Warsaw University of Technology, and IEEE Communications Society - Chapter Warsaw. (...)
