 Security Conclusion
Security is everybody's business
Security needs to be designed in upfront
Security must be an ongoing effort
Systematically addressing vulnerabilities (intrinsic
properties of networks/systems)
is key so that protection can be provided
independent of what the threats (which are
constantly changing and may be unknown) may be
X.805 is helpful here

 General Mobility aspects of NGN
Mobility Requirements in NGN
ability to change access point and/or terminal;
ability to get access from any network access point, including
all access technologies identified;
ability to get services in a consistent manner, subject to
the constraints experienced in their current situations;
user availability and reach ability should be known to net. functions,
and possibly to services and applications (including by a third party).

Service Capabilities for NGN Mobility

support of personal (User and Service) mobility;
support of terminal mobility;
support of both personal and terminal mobility

Commercial issues

What is architecture ?

Physical nodes for interconnection

Interconnect agreement

Limitation in present License

Commercial viability

Practical contracts

Transition arrangements

Testing/Trials

Support of legacy services

Support of new services

Next Generation Network
 Availability and Right of interconnection
Two elements to NGN interconnect
MSIL
Underlying multi-service IP link that carries NGN services
NGN voice
(For initial release) SIP-I signalled voice service interconnect
Operators who is migrated to NGN may like to give
interconnection
When full roll out is over
MSIL available prior to NGN voice
These all creates issues
Lack of equivalence
Service quality issues (NGN-TDM-NGN transition)
Cost of migration in stages
Additional cost-TDM gateway and SBC (Session Border Control) required
together

Next Generation Network

 NGN based Interconnect Exchange may be one of
the Solution.
But issues are.. Who will own it ? Who will pay for
it ? Where it has to be located ?
Interconnection parties will be more as software
led service provider (e.g. Skype or an IPTV
operator) may ask for interconnection
New advanced Services most notably those based
on IP protocol require Interconnection Rights and
new Interconnection scheme

Next Generation Network

 Commercials Issues
What should NGN commercials look like?
MSIL
Complicated because a mixture of reciprocal & non-reciprocal
services
NGN voice
Technology neutral approach being adopted short term
Deliver traffic at same location as today, and be charged the same
rate
But this leads to perverse investment decisions
Number of interconnects to support technology neutrality may be
different to that needed to support longer term solution
Quality of service may be an important differentiation factor in NGN
Market for low quality and high quality may develop and
Interconnection charges may be QoS driven

Next Generation Network

 What about long term?
When should long term start?
Originator must pay terminator not just for transmission
capacity, but service aspects
Distance is not dead
May be diminished, but certainly not dead
Distance = network distance (network elements used by calls)
Is economy of scale of fatter interconnect pipes more significant
than using fewer network elements?
Likely models will revolve around
Peak bandwidth +
Peak sessions +
Network distance
How to move to a new regime while not destroying
business models of companies with extensive
investment overnight?

Next Generation Network

 Location of Interconnection

Many services have fibre connectivity into sites that

will be MSANs, not a central node in a service area
Service providers required interconnect to Incumbent
at MSAN as well as central node.
Incumbent may accept concept from technical
perspective, but
With limitations e.g. voice will need to loop through Central
node
What will be charges for Interconnection at different level

Next Generation Network

 Assets
If interconnect is defacto only available at Central nodes,
then service providers will have fibre assets at sites which
will either be useless, or have severely limited use
What if having multiple node connections yields no
commercial advantages?
How to compensate for engineering cost ?
How to compensate for Non engineering cost ?
Customer communications & liaison
Billing system updates
OSS (Operational Support System) updates
Network management
Product management

What is additional cost and who will bear it ? If migration

happens in steps ?

Next Generation Network

 Access to part of Infrastructure
Introduction of new kind of Interconnection
Such as access to parts of the infrastructure
Local loop
Directory service data base
Or to allow the provision of whole sale services
Whole sale Internet access service
Mobile roaming
New type of Interconnection has to be right and
obligatory to all service providers ?

Next Generation Network

 Charging scheme
Technology neutral interconnection charging
system based on capacity instead of traditional
method of time and distance
Capacity based interconnection is one where
operator may request a specific capacity for
interconnection and pay flat rate charge that
reflects the fixed cost nature of interconnection
capacity
Charging has to be Volume based or Pipe based
?

Next Generation Network

 Number Portability, Emergency services
and CLI
Users should be allowed to retain existing
number between IP based and Circuit switched
or among IP based
Assure users to access to emergency service,
Provision of caller location/identification to
facilitate rescue
It should be passed between IP based network
for display and security purposes
