INTRODUCTION
Next generation networks (NGN) [1] is the direction
that telecommunication operators have been moving
towards in recent years. The migration process towards
NGN has included networks, users and services. Having
said that one must admit that although the notion of NGN
is well known and the need for it is a certainty, the
discussion over different migration strategies has not yet
subsided. Looking at the operators from a technical point
of view there are nearly as many approaches as there are
operators, a fact that could be attributed to the
complicated nature of the matter. Still, there are keywords
most SPs have accepted as an example the use of IP
multimedia subsystem (IMS) [2] in their strategies, as the
service delivery platform (SDP) for future multimedia
services, could be mentioned.
This paper has two primary aims. Firstly, to analyze
and point out the common steps in the migration towards
NGN that different telecommunications service providers

CONCLUSION
EE and TSS, both belonging to the same TeliaSonera
Group, saw the need for NGN at the beginning of the 21st
century and have since taken independent paths towards
migrating away from legacy networks. Elion Enterprises
Ltd has managed to make the transition more effectively
in the sense that more services have been migrated to IMS.
Services including basic VoIP and IPTV among others are
