The Southern Branch of the Institute of Information Scientists is resuming its regular programme of evening meetings. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday 13th February 2001 commencing at 6.30 pm at the Sekforde Arms, Sekforde Street, Clerkenwell, London. Nearest Tube: Farringdon. Our speaker is Karen Blakeman of RBA Information Services and well-known commentator on the telecoms scene. Her topic for the evening is: Telecoms: technology, jargon and real life Reduced to tears by BT's pricing structure? Confused by ADSL, Home Highway, FRIACO/FIASCO? And is your Internet telephone bill astronomical despite competition in the telecoms market? We do not guarantee that we will be able to solve all of your telco problems, but we will take you gently through the latest technology and jargon, and explain how current developments in this area affect all of us as users of the Internet and information services in general. If nothing else, there will be a friendly shoulder to cry on and reassurance that it is not as easy as "they" say it is! All are welcome to come along for an interesting talk, discussion and free buffet and an opportunity to network with a group of information professionals. Please let me know if you will be coming to the meeting by replying to [log in to unmask] Norman Briggs, Chairman, IIS Southern Branch
