 Introduction
 
 An ITU-T workshop - NGN and its Transport Networks - took place at the International 
    Conference Center Kobe (ICCK), Japan, 20 to 21 April 2006.
 
 NGN Standardization work is now well underway in the ITU-T and other SDOs. Following the 
    success of the NGN Focus Group and the establishment of the NGN Global Standards Initiative 
    (NGN-GSI) in ITU-T, this ITU-T workshop was an opportunity to review the status of 
    the work, identify technology trends, and provide a framework for moving forward 
    standardization work.
 
 This event provided an overview of the architecture, performance and transport aspects 
of NGN as well as the market drivers and challenges. Particular emphasis was given to 
network technologies, standards that address architecture and the performance aspects of NGN and transport networks aspects to support NGN services.
