4. Cross Industry Collaboration and Innovation … more than 50 carriers have now implemented integrated carrier billing on the BlackBerry App World™ storefront for their customers. - “BlackBerry App World Integrated Carrier Billing Now Implemented with More Than 50 Carriers”, Blackberry website, November 26, 2012 Europe’s telecoms and media companies must embrace innovation in key areas such as mobile, cloud computing and big data, as well as forge strong strategic relationships with other industry players… IDATE’s Didier Pouillot said: “Telcos do have certain leverage to deal with this change, starting with creating more value from network access now that OTT services are increasing user consumption. “NGN technologies allow telcos to increase speeds and to introduce noticeable quality improvements, both of which can differentiate their offerings. But it is clear 2013 is a pivotal year and telcos must embrace innovation. A simple Darwinian case of evolve or die!” “2013 a ‘Darwinian tipping point’ for Europe’s telcos, Jamie Beach, May 31, 2013, Telecoms.com” the Wall Street Journal reported that ESPN has talked to at least one major carrier about paying to enable customers to access ESPN Mobile without exceeding their data limits - “Analyst Angle: OTT as a revenue source for carriers”, Jeffery Wang, IBB Consulting, RCR Wireless, May 15, 2013

22. Typically divided in two tiers. An Access Tier where the service facades resides and a Network Tier where the Service Enables, Policy Control, Container services etc. reside. Firewall usually deployed between Access & Network Tiers for secure access Secure channel protects traffic between Access Tier & Network Tier Nodes The Access tier is optimized for use in the OCSG and hence can provide significant performance improvements AT modules exposing Web Service interfaces are custom built for specific WSDL & resolve XML to native protocol mapping at compile time thereby avoiding expensive runtime XSLT/XPATH transformations Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper access tier nodes do not perform any dynamic data transformation or XML processing (XPath etc) and thereby eliminate message processing overheads Network 1 Network 2 Network 3 Network n Access 1 Access 2 Access n Typical Deployment DMZ Core Network
