 Why this conversation now..?

Old business models being questioned due to success of internet

SP NGNs to adopt IP based internet models except try to make them
better
Call control understandings for IP like SIP, MPLS make it ready to carry
voice and multimedia traffic
SPs need to rework their business models and start growing profitably
again again
Economies expected to become better and SP capex expected to
increase; SPs on verge of making network infrastructure investment
decisions
Credible equipment providers now being tested on new metrics of
staying power

 Summary

SP Next Generation Networks must become a more reliable

and deliver Business-class internet
Inter-working between SP NGN networks with the PSTN and
the Internet are mandatory
Interconnections between carriers for IP based services are
becoming important
New investment, business model environments require
rethinking past paradigms
Network version of Moores Law mandates clear understanding
of NGN and where equipment investments will be made
