CIOE2008：Expecting

This year is the 10th year for CIOE(China's International Optoelectronic Exhibition, from Sep. 6 to Sep. 10) in Shenzhen. Before the show, we were told by the organizer that they sold the booths very well. Today's CIOE is not only an optical components show in its early days, but a comprehensive show including optical components for communication, optical display, laser, solar energy products etc. Under the new situation, the organizer promotes the show through cooperation with many professional medias in the optoelectronic industry, CFOL(www.c-fol.net) is just one of them, but we are one of a few medias who attended all 10 years' show.
Then from this year's show, what we can expect? According to our understandings, we think they are:
1) Who can be a new Photon or Fiberxon? After Photon is acquired by NewPhotonics, and Fiberxon is acquired by MRV, Can we have a new leading component company in this industry? Can it be WTD, or Hioptel, or Hisense, or Gigalight, the admission ticket sponsor for CIOE2008?
2) Who will change their jobs in those big names? As we know, the founder of Photon, Mr. Huang, zhangyong, has founded another component company.
3) What will happen in PLC domain? Nearly every passive component companies aim at this market and many of them had made big investments.
4) Any new products? We have been looking for new products in CIOE for 10 years, but it is a difficult work. Before this year's show, many companies told us they would have new products, then let us wait.
5) A new forum? The forum is always a weakness of the CIOE, to improve this, the organizer outsources the forum to another company, and then can we have surprise?
