Session 5: Trends of NGN Technology and Migration Aspects
Session Chairman: Ignat Stanev,
International Teletraffic Congress
Objectives:
This session will present the evolution
of NGN and future perspectives in the relevant access technologies,
service and network architecture with special focus on convergence,
home, office and mobile applications, Internet protocol-based platforms
and multiple access networks. It will be devoted to the evolution of the
network architecture towards NGN (IMS based or otherwise), fixed-mobile
convergence, evolution: towards a new generation of broadband mobile,
PSTN/ISDN evolution to NGN, cases studies and scenarios
taking into consideration the relevant business models and opportunities.
Moreover, Number Portability and network Address, Translation and
Protocol Translation issues will be considered as well as
Interconnection of NGN and legacy networks.
Emphasis will be on:

Session 6: NGN and Broadband:
Policy and Regulatory Issues
Session Chairman: Luis Scheker, INDOTEL
Objectives: This session will focus on the challenges that the
policy makers and regulators face while considering introduction of NGN
and Broadband technologies. Current regulatory frameworks based on
technologies and/or service specific licenses have limitations. In order
to ensure investment in NGN and Broadband, regulators need to encourage
conditions, which lowers entry barriers, promotes competition and
encourage investment in infrastructure. Emphasis will be on:
