MUMBAI: With two months to go before the opening of the sports television forum Sportel Monaco 2006, exhibitors have committed to more than 85 per cent of the expanded floor space in the Grimaldi Forum. The event takes place from 16-19 October 2006.

Exhibitors include Total Sports Asia, A1GP World Cup Of Motorsport, AGFIS, Alcatel, BBC Worldwide, EBU, PGA Tour, HBO, the NBA and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Sportel CEO David Tomatis says, " We have opened up every corner of the exhibition floor to add more stands and it is virtually certain that we will sell all existing space in the coming weeks.

“We are continuing to focus on exciting new technologies involving the reception of sports content on mobile receivers, along with our traditional base of international TV sports. Sportel Monaco 2006 may very well be our largest market ever.”
