Broad Global Industry NGN Participation and
Support why

• Pragmatically meeting real needs today
• IP-enabled public product standards
• Global interoperability and markets
• Secure, stable infrastructure
• Compatibility with existing network
  infrastructures
• Common regulatory requirements
• Engaging all relevant standards bodies
• Identifying existing useable standards
• New standards and administrative practices
  adopted only as necessary
• Focused on open unbundled service modules and
  capability sets
• Staged in multiple releases over time
• Standards participants primarily other industry
  players worldwide, regionally, and nationally

Basic NGN regulatory considerations

• Responsibility for national public infrastructure
  rests with designated governmental authorities
  and coordinated through intergovernmental
  treaties and mechanisms
• National public infrastructures have special
  properties the public and the nation depend on
  these infrastructures
• All governments impose capability requirements on
  public infrastructures
• Global service innovation and marketplace
  competition are necessary
• Pervasive vulnerabilities are potentially
  emerging in the public communications network
  infrastructure and not well understood
• Factors
• Rapid introduction of new technologies,
  especially platforms not designed for public
  infrastructure use
• Open public communication network infrastructure
• Nomadic users and providers
• Uncontrolled access devices and capabilities
• Growing cybercrime and potential terrorism actions

9
NGN common regulatory requirements worldwide

• National Security and Critical Infrastructure
  Protection
• network attack mitigation
• public safety emergency and law
  enforcement/national security assistance
• priority access during or after disasters
• priority service provisioning and restoration
• analysis and reporting of network metrics and
  outages
• Legal System Requirements
• cybercrime mitigation
• digital rights management
• fraud detection and management
• juridical evidentiary and forensics
• Consumer Requirements
• consumer emergency calls (E112/E911) including
  location of caller
• consumer protection and privacy (Do Not Call
  SPAM)
• authenticated caller or sender identification
• disability assistance
• Operations Requirements
• roaming and service provider coordination
• default service and routing options

Each of these capabilities is the subject of a
requirements proceeding in multiple jurisdictions

Applicable Law and European NGN Proceedings

• Global Instruments
• International Telecommunication Regulations -
  originally crafted as core protective internet
  instrument for meeting infrastructure protection
  and other public requirements
• Cybercrime Convention crafted as a post hoc
  internet instrument for dealing with the
  resulting problems of inaction
• CEC Instruments
• Directives, legislation, action plans Framework,
  eEurope, Internet, Network Security, Data
  Protection
• Consultations and Reports IP Voice and
  Associated Convergent Services, Convergence of
  Naming Numbering and Addressing,
• State (UK as an example of many)
• UK OFCOM consultations NGN, roaming, number
  portability, universal service
• UK Home Office access to communications data

11
NGN Intelligent Infrastructure Regulatory Models

• Architect for openness and competition
• A public NGN regulatory model
• Public internet regulatory models began emerging
  in the mid-80s with the FCC Computer III
  framework for the Intelligent Networks in the USA
  and ITR88 internationally
• Applied to the first open industry internet
  infrastructure
• Elements of the internet regulatory model
• open interfaces
• unbundled service elements
• secure infrastructure
• CPNI directory access
• strictures against anticompetitive behavior
• consumer protection
• A highly successful model for nearly 20 years
• NGN today is the equivalent of the Intelligent
  Network of 20 years ago
• NGN will necessitate more (not less) regulatory
  activity
• A characteristic of all open public
  infrastructures of nomadic users
• Government sets the public infrastructure
  capability requirements that industry implements
• Common carrier economic regulation generally not
  needed
• Detail standards promulgation generally not needed

12
Key Steps

• Promote an open NGN market
• Regulate for an open, competitive, secure NGN
  Intelligent Infrastructure for Europe
• Protect citizen needs, especially the
  infrastructure itself
• Collaborate on NGN regulatory models and
  requirements especially those which have
  transnational implications
• Enhance international institutional arrangements
  for protecting public NGN infrastructure and
  other critical requirements
• International Telecommunication Regulations
• Convention on Cybercrime expansion
  secretariat
• Ratify now
• European Commission Network Security action plans
• Industry can implement the requirements
• Implement NGN core capabilities now
• Trusted ability to identify, authenticate, and
  contact
• NGN providers
• NGN subscribers
• Rapid, trusted resolution of geographically
  autonomous identifiers for communications,
  commerce, and content
• Regional and global cooperation among regulatory
  authorities and industry
