Gearing Up for Internet Media Conference

BRUSSELS - Entrepreneurs, investors, and technology analysts are eagerly awaiting the 4th annual European Internet Technology Forum (EITF) here next week. In the last three years, it has become the most important showcase for groundbreaking Internet technologies on the continent.

This year, everyone will be watching Enrique del Alamo, founder of the Spanish company Phone Online. Its services include free international long-distance calls over the Internet. Mr. del Alamo says the company already handles over 3% of all such calls worldwide. Now, he is expected to announce the introduction of a new service. Analysts have not been given much information about it, but Phone Online spokesperson Staci Kim has suggested it will allow users to place calls to cell phones around the world in addition to land lines.

Other participants at this year's forum will include the president of the Internet software producer Netwise, Mariska Olin, and American technology expert Dennis Aldrich. Over 1,000 representatives from European technology journals are also on the guest list. Investors in attendance will have great opportunities to conduct research on the countless startup firms that will be there.

Some see the EITF as evidence of a European surge with the potential of overtaking the US's leading position in this industry. Others feel that even if this happens, it will not be for many years. But one thing is sure: the EITF has become the place to be for investors interested in discovering the next super-company.

Hi Paul,

I'm forwarding you an article from this week's Business News Magazine entitled "Gearing Up for Internet Media Conference." It talks about an event taking place in Belgium next week.

We've been looking for some new startup companies to invest in, and I think the EITF will be a great place to find them. Can you have someone from your team fly over to Brussels and do research for us? The financial department will cover all the expenses.

Thanks a lot,
Jennifer

권선징악
good triumphing over evil / triumph of good over evil

A : 권선징악을 주제로 한 동화도 많고 영화도 많지만, 현실에서는
     꼭 그렇지만은 않은 것 같아요.
     There are a lot of fairy tales and movies about good
     triumphing over evil, but I don't think that's necessarily
     true in real life.

B : 맞아요.
     You're right.

A : 나쁜 짓을 하고도 떵떵거리고 잘 사는 사람, 착하게 살아도
     계속 힘들게 사는 사람을 보면 정말 선한 사람은 복을 받고,
     악한 사람은 벌을 받을까? 하는 의문이 들어요.
     When I see bad people doing well and nice people just
     getting by, I can't help but wonder if it's true that good
     people are blessed and bad people are cursed.
