3. NGN – Long-Term Network Convergence Perspective 1970 1980 1990 2000 Public Switched Telecommunication Network (PSTN) Intelligent Network Internet (IN) NGNs Commercial Mobile Radio Systems Open Systems Interconnection Internet (OSI) private quasi-public IP Internet (IP) Was never designed as public infrastructure

4. NGN – Near-Term Network Convergence Perspective Intelligent Infrastructure is the key enabler

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

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 Each of these capabilities is the subject of a requirements proceeding in multiple jurisdictions

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
