This Review is part of the FT-IT family of special reports, which comprises the FT-IT Review and the FT Telecoms Review.

The Reviews are published on the first and third Wednesday of each month, with FT-IT taking up three of every four slots and FT Telecoms occupying the fourth.

Our next issue is FT-IT on Wednesday, April 18. Please note that one of the themes planned for that issue, web-based learning and training in the business world, has moved to June 6 because of pressure on space.

Listed below are the publication dates and brief details of themes due to be covered until autumn. While we make every effort to keep to themes once they are announced, the topics in the fast-changing IT and telecoms sector are subject to alteration and addition.

Each issue will include our regular features, such as View from the Top, interviews with senior figures in the IT and telecoms industry, plus news reviews and statistics.
