3. NGN � Long-Term Network Convergence Perspective

4. NGN � Near-Term Network Convergence Perspective

5. NGN Industry Standards Ecosystem*

6. Broad Global Industry NGN Participation and Support: why Pragmatically meeting real needs today IP-enabled public product standards Global interoperability and markets Secure, stable infrastructure Compatibility with existing network infrastructures Common regulatory requirements Engaging all relevant standards bodies Identifying existing useable standards New standards and administrative practices adopted only as necessary Focused on �open� unbundled service modules and capability sets Staged in multiple �releases� over time Standards participants primarily other industry players � worldwide, regionally, and nationally

7. NGN Policy-Legal-Regulatory Ecosystem

8. Basic NGN regulatory considerations Responsibility for national public infrastructure rests with designated governmental authorities and coordinated through intergovernmental treaties and mechanisms National public infrastructures have special properties � the public and the nation depend on these infrastructures All governments impose capability requirements on public infrastructures Global service innovation and marketplace competition are necessary Pervasive vulnerabilities are potentially emerging in the public communications network infrastructure and not well understood Factors Rapid introduction of new technologies, especially platforms not designed for public infrastructure use Open public communication network infrastructure Nomadic users and providers Uncontrolled access devices and capabilities Growing cybercrime and potential terrorism actions

9. NGN common regulatory requirements worldwide National Security and Critical Infrastructure Protection network attack mitigation public safety emergency and law enforcement/national security assistance priority access during or after disasters priority service provisioning and restoration analysis and reporting of network metrics and outages Legal System Requirements cybercrime mitigation digital rights management fraud detection and management juridical evidentiary and forensics Consumer Requirements consumer emergency calls (E112/E911) including location of caller consumer protection and privacy (Do Not Call; SPAM) authenticated caller or sender identification disability assistance Operations Requirements roaming and service provider coordination default service and routing options intercarrier compensation transaction accounting Competition Requirements number portability service interoperability unbundling directory access

10. Applicable Law and European NGN Proceedings Global Instruments International Telecommunication Regulations - originally crafted as core �protective� internet instrument for meeting infrastructure protection and other public requirements Cybercrime Convention � crafted as a post hoc internet instrument for dealing with the resulting problems of inaction CEC Instruments Directives, legislation, action plans: Framework, eEurope, Internet, Network Security, Data Protection Consultations and Reports: IP Voice and Associated Convergent Services, Convergence of Naming Numbering and Addressing, State (UK � as an example of many) UK OFCOM consultations: NGN, roaming, number portability, universal service UK Home Office: access to communications data

11. NGN Intelligent Infrastructure Regulatory Models �Architect� for openness and competition A public NGN regulatory model Public internet regulatory models began emerging in the mid-80s with the FCC Computer III framework for the Intelligent Networks in the USA and ITR�88 internationally Applied to the first open industry internet infrastructure Elements of the internet regulatory model open interfaces unbundled service elements secure infrastructure CPNI directory access strictures against anticompetitive behavior consumer protection A highly successful model for nearly 20 years NGN today is the equivalent of the Intelligent Network of 20 years ago NGN will necessitate more (not less) regulatory activity A characteristic of all open public infrastructures of nomadic users Government sets the public infrastructure capability requirements that industry implements Common carrier economic regulation generally not needed Detail standards promulgation generally not needed

12. Key Steps Promote an open NGN market Regulate for an open, competitive, secure NGN Intelligent Infrastructure for Europe Protect citizen needs, especially the infrastructure itself Collaborate on NGN regulatory models and requirements � especially those which have transnational implications Enhance international institutional arrangements for protecting public NGN infrastructure and other critical requirements International Telecommunication Regulations Convention on Cybercrime + expansion + secretariat Ratify now European Commission Network Security action plans Industry can implement the requirements Implement NGN core capabilities now Trusted ability to identify, authenticate, and contact NGN providers NGN subscribers Rapid, trusted resolution of geographically autonomous identifiers for communications, commerce, and content Regional and global cooperation among regulatory authorities and industry

NGN Technical Product Ecosystem (ITU-T) Multi-media services Basic services Advanced services Real-time Conversational Voice services Instant messaging (IM) Push to talk over NGN (PoN) Point to Point interactive multimedia services Collaborative interactive communication services Group Messaging � Instant messaging, deferred messaging Messaging services such as SMS, MMS, etc. Content delivery services Push-based services Broadcast/Multicast Services Hosted and transit services for enterprises (IP Centrex, etc.) Information services Presence and general notification services 3GPP Rel 6 and 3GPP2 Rel A OSA-based services PSTN/ISDN Emulation services General aspects for PSTN/ISDN Emulation Terminals for PSTN/ISDN Emulation Target services for PSTN/ISDN Emulation PSTN/ISDN Simulation services General aspects for PSTN/ISDN Simulation Terminals for PSTN/ISDN Simulation Target services for PSTN/ISDN Simulation Internet access NGN core peer-to-peer applications Other services Data retrieval applications: such as tele-software. Data communication services: such as data file transfer, electronic mailbox and web browsing Online applications (online sales for consumers, e-commerce, online procurement for commercials) Sensor Network services Remote control/tele-action services, such as home applications control, telemetry, alarms etc. Over-the-Network (OTN) Device Management Public Services Aspects Lawful Intercept Malicious call trace User identity presentation and privacy Emergency Communications Users with disabilities Carrier selection Number portability Service delivery under specific country or local conditions Customer Manageable IP Service Service Stratum capabilities Session handling Open service environment User Profile Device Profile Service enablers PSTN/ISDN emulation support Public service aspects Accounting, Charging and Billing Service Policy Management Transport Stratum capabilities Media resource management Mobility management Connectivity handling Access Transport capabilities Numbering, naming, and addressing incl. resolution and interworking QoS-based Resource and Traffic Management Basic OAM Transport Policy management Interoperability and Interworking Identification, authentication and authorization Identification Authentication Authorization Security and Privacy Management aspects Service management aspects Transport management aspects
