NEXT GENERATION IP TECHNOLOGY

• Level 3s Network Technology represent the
  biggest change in communications technology in
  100 years. - Smithsonian Institution, 2001
• VoIP represents the most significant paradigm
  shift in the entire history of modern
  communications, since the invention of the
  telephone. Chairman Powell, Fortune Magazine,
  July 2004

NEXT GENERATION IP TECHNOLOGY

• The worlds 10 largest telecom providers
• The 10 largest carriers in Europe
• The four largest local phone companies in the U.S
• The 10 largest North American ISPs
• The six largest U.S. cable companies
• Internet content providers
• Media and entertainment companies
• Research and academic institutions
• 35 Federal Departments - Agencies

NEXT GENERATION IP TECHNOLOGY

• Step 1 Book is done. You look up the
  publishers address.
• Step 2 Put each chapter into an envelope. Just
  in case.
• Step 3 Address each envelope. To Publisher.
  From Me.
• Step 4 Take envelopes to Packages Plus
• Step 5 Send each envelope along the fastest
  possible route
• USPS might route through Denver, CO
• FedEx hub is in Memphis, TN routes there
• UPS hub is in Louisville, KY routes there
• Step 6 Publisher receives envelopes sorts
  numbered chapter assembles book

• Step 1 Type or click on file located at
  http//psc.state.wy.us.
• Step 2 WY PSC Server breaks data into packets of
  1,500 characters
• Step 3 WY PSC Server puts the packets into an IP
  envelope, adds sender address, destination
  address, and other information
• Step 4 WY PSC Server sends the packets over the
  Internet
• Step 5 IP Routers examine the address of each IP
  packet and determine the most efficient route
• Step 6 Destination computer sorts the packets
  and reassembles the files

NEXT GENERATION IP TECHNOLOGY

• IP NETWORK
• Efficient Multiple Use of One Network No
  end-to-end Dedicated Paths
• Worldwide Service Consumers Purchase Capacity
  Applications
• Distance Charges - Eliminated
• Multipurpose Network Connects Multipurpose
  Devices
• Changes Basic Assumptions - Alexander Graham
  Bells Network Was a Single Purpose Network
  Connecting Single Purpose Devices
• Greater Service At Lower Cost

NEXT GENERATION IP TECHNOLOGY

• Level 3s Network enables the next 100 years of
  communications
• Continued access to inexpensive Dial-up Internet
  access for those without access to or unable to
  afford DSL, Cable Modem, Satellite broadband, or
  terrestrial wireless broadband
• Multipurpose network connecting multipurpose
  devices
• VoIP Changes Everything
• IP networks sell capacity features, not
  distance time
• Increases value of Broadband and Narrowband
  Connections

COMPETITION

• INTERCONNECTION MEANS COMPETITION
• PHYSICAL NETWORK
• INTERCARRIER COMPENSATION

17
COMPETITION

• PHYSICAL NETWORK
• Single Point of Interconnection
• Efficient Interconnection Network

18
COMPETITION

• PHYSICAL NETWORK
• Single Point of Interconnection
• Interconnection. Interconnection is the linking
  of two networks for the mutual exchange of
  traffic. This term does not include the
  transport and termination of traffic
• Meet point. A meet point is a point of
  interconnection between two networks, designated
  by two telecommunications carriers, at which one
  carrier's responsibility for service begins and
  the other carrier's responsibility ends
• Meet point interconnection arrangement. A meet
  point interconnection arrangement is an
  arrangement by which each telecommunications
  carrier builds and maintains its network to a
  meet point
