EN/FAD Ericsson CCND/TC+LME/DT L-F Pau KEY ISSUES TODAY AROUND the USE of IPv6 In COMMERCIAL COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS Identifying incremental service revenue sources for operators derived from using IPv6,sometimes alongsid IPv4, and match them against costs Identifying new service revenue sources for operators derived from using IPv6 Migration plans for infrastructure and integration services,including OSS and Network management DECISION PROCESS MUST BE IN ORDER ABOVE

EN/FAD Ericsson CCND/TC+LME/DT L-F Pau IPv6 opens up for changes in Business models favorable to operators and users - Business /traffic/infrastructure/service business models for IPv6/IPv4 mobile traffic and services (Ericsson Hungary) - Business concepts and technical DNS solutions allowing for efficient management by operators of IPv6 addresses in relation to subscriber profiles - Billing solutions with bundled IP/ non-IP IPDR and CDR tracking (Ericsson EHPT) - Collaborations with operators and new users

EN/FAD Ericsson CCND/TC+LME/DT L-F Pau USE In HIGH SPEED INTERNET ACCESS SERVICES Technical dominant IPv6 features: -increased IPv6 address space -IPSECv6 with both data encryption and user authentification Incremental revenue : -price multiple addresses and flows managed at same cost (e.g Japanese 180 Mbit/s ISPs) New revenue : -price enhanced security features

EN/FAD Ericsson CCND/TC+LME/DT L-F Pau USE in STORAGE AREA NETWORKING Technical dominant IPv6 features: -IPv6 address hierarchy Incremental revenue : -more reliable management of large data stores New revenue : - content provisioning into 3G enabled mobile services without NAT handling
