The Business Drivers behind NGN • End Users (Corporate, Consumers): • flexible access to information: Any device, anywhere, any time • Phone (no longer Voice only) => PDA, Games, Internet, SMS, … • CPE/SOMO: Have IT systems hosted by xSP • Carriers & Service Providers: • Require operational efficiency => network convergence • Want differentiation and sticky services • Eg Broadband access at low price, Games • “Voice” remains lion share of future revenue • NGN needs to provide QoS to carry Voice • OEMs / Developers: • Want improved TTM • Require an offering with reduced TCO (pushed by xSPs)

Service Systems: Transition to IP is in Progress Circuit-switched Systems (1) TDM-based products still account for a majority of industry revenue (2) Approaching limits in price/performance 3) Speech becomes critical Packet-based Systems (1) IP-based service systems will surpass by 2003 (SIP, VoiceXML)(2) Enhanced Features distributed between gateways and media servers (3) Speech is a critical component The migration is evolutionary

In search of “The Killer App” • Will it be driven by the Hosting business model? • Web Server -> e-Business -> Click-to-talk -> distributed call centers • Network based PBX - IP Centrex - VPN • Will it be through Voice/Data Convergence? • IP Conferencing: Merge of Video, Data and Voice • Unified Messaging: Any Place, Any Time, Any Device • Will Wireless Mobility be the driver? • Location based Services • Wireless Internet - Games • Will it be through new technologies, like eg. Speech Recognition? • Voice Portal - Email Reader • Personal Assistant • Will it be through Openness of new Solutions? • VoiceXML -> Tapping into XML Developer Community? • Will it be through the introduction of alternative Billing? • Prepaid IP Billing - Reverse Billing – Always on - … • Question: Why did SMS or I-Mode become a Killer Apps?
