  11. NGN and ITU-D Hyderabad Action Plan (HAP) ITU-D Activities on NGN Study Period 2010-2014 NGN is one of the Priority areas of the HAP - Programme 1: Information and Communication Infrastructure and Technology Development

  12. Q.26/2:Migration from existing networks to next-generation networks for developing countries: technical, regulatory and policy aspects ISSUES FOR STUDY • Trends of telecommunication networks towards NGN • Examination of NGN technologies, Migration solutions to NGN (ITU-T SG13 works on NGN) • Interconnection for NGN, technical and regulatory aspects OUTPUT Report on studies of various issues related to migration from existing networks to next-generation networks and among others the description of the technical, legislative and regulatory framework that would be needed to implement appropriate interconnection arrangements for new generation networks. Economic impact to implement these interconnection arrangements are also to be reported • The main Report and respective Annexes http://www.itu.int/md/D10-SG02-C-0278were approved  by the fourth and final ITU-D SG 2 meeting of the current study (Sep/13)

  13. Content of the Main Report • Migration to NGN • Technology developments for NGN migration • Regulatory Challenges for NGN migration • Reviews from NGN deployment • Case Studies • Method for the promising technologies and status of NGN deployments

  14. Content of the Annexes Annexes: • Trends of Telecommunication • Tariff Considerations on Data Service including NGN • NGN Functional Architecture/Security • Quality of Service in NGN • NGN Management • NGN Testing • Examples of Migration Scenarios • Issues on NGN • ITU NGN standards

  15. Possible Future of Question 26for the next Study Period Further discussions WTDC 14 NGN and telecom/ICT virtualization resources New technics and methodologies to the migration to NGN networks Specific cases of networks and their capabilities: cloud computing, network virtualization, etc.

  16. Programme 1: Other Activities on NGN Case Studies and Direct Assistance • Best Practices for Implementing Next-generation networks (NGN) in the Asia and Pacific Region; Region Case Study; India, Philippines and Sri Lanka • NGN access network planning: A case Study of BTCL Network in Bangladesh • Events: Training events, an E-learning course in ITU Academy and Workshops for the Regions are planned for 2014.

  22. ITU Asia-Pacific Broadband Initiatives Broadband Policies adopted at highest level : Fiji & Cambodia Broadband Policies for Vietnam, Samoa, Nepal, Myanmar, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Cambodia , Nepal, PNG, Indonesia, Pakistan, Lao PDR, Vanuatu, Marshall Islands, Brunei,Philippines

  23. ITU Initiatives on Broadband : e-Health • 6 billion mobile users, over 90 % coverage, 1/3rd of world population on Internet and 2 billion broadband users • ITU WHO: Commission’s on Information &Accountability for Women & Children’s Health • ITU WHOA “National e-Health Strategy toolkit” • ITU WHO Mobile technologies prevention cure &awareness of NCD • Interoperable standards on e-Health Study Group 16 : Q 28/16: “Multimedia Framework for e-health Applications.” • Telemedicine / e Health: Nepal • Mobile Applications : Nepal , Bhutan 23

  24. What is the Connect a School, Connect a Community initiative Why Connect Schools? Best practices in using ICTs for persons with disabilities ITU Initiatives on Broadband : e-Education • Best practices in using ICTs for women’s empowerment • Best practices in providing ICTs for indigenous persons

  25. Recognizing the role of mobile applications in stimulating supply and creating demand , ITU and MOIC Bhutan prioritized four key mobile applications (i) m-health (ii) m-agriculture (iii) m-disaster management and (iv) m-banking; Comprehensive report on development of four mobile applications was prepared In close coordination with responsible line ministries , four Mobile applications have been developed and currently under deployment stage. Implementation almost completed Mobile Applications : Bhutan M-Emergency Com M-Health M-Agriculture M-Banking http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/asp/CMS/Docs/Bhutan%20EV4.pdf

  26. ITU Initiatives on Broadband : ICT for PWD • Digital Inclusion • E Accessibility Tool Kit • Multimedia Standards • ITU assisting India, Nepal Afghanistan ICT for PwD

  27. ITU-MCMC Contest Connecting at the Roots

  28. Greening the Future: Bridging the Standardization Gap on Environmental Sustainability

  29. Asia Pacific Regional IDI ranking

  30. Asia-Pacific Information Superhighway Maps

  31. Asia-Pacific Information Superhighway Maps ESCAP and ITU have jointly produced groundbreaking new interactive maps of the Global Information Superhighway, which will help bridge the digital divide in Asia-Pacific. Maps are first ever to show policy makers and investors where the missing links in terrestrial transmission are across the region, assisting affordable broadband connectivity

  32. Only 7% of people in Asia Pacific have fixed broadband access and it is the most digitally divided region in the world, with Republic of Korea at 37.56% fixed broadband penetration, compared to Myanmar (0.01%) Mapping regional terrestrial routes will offer opportunities for policy makers and investors on missing links to development of a coherent Asia-Pacific Information Superhighway.

  33. Asia-Pacific Information Superhighway Maps The maps also feature the region’s main transport networks, the Asian Highway and the Trans-Asian Railways as it is critical that fiber-optic cables can be laid in coordination with the construction of railways and roads to ensure appropriate cost savings.
