Mobile operator body, the GSM Association (GSMA), held a press conference on Congress' opening day. Five of the six speakers the GSMA had lined up to voice support for an alliance against child sexual exploitation on mobile devices. The speakers included European commissioner for information society and media, Viviane Reding (far right).

Dr Hamadoun Touré, secretary general of the ITU, was the sixth speaker. As well as backing the alliance, Touré called for a global alliance against cyber security, saying "the whole world has to unite to fight this crime".

Here Reding sits down to give her backing to the GSMA's initiative...
