NGN Summary Contributions from ETSI (GTSC9-05) and ATIS (GTSC9-09): Highlights Standards setting NGN foundations already exist. Work is still ongoing on few focused topics to enhance these standards so as to enable operational deployments (emergency communications, network interconnection, converged policy management, number portability…) Convergence and NG-service delivery to the end user will require the interaction of non-traditional telco aspects such as web services, data models, and applications. NGN standardization is now waiting for feedback from the Industry. Standardization needs to address network evolution beyond the NGN phase and should now address Future Networks and intermediary migration steps. Next Steps NGN consolidation: Make standards ensuring end-to-end delivery of services and global interoperability and responding to regulatory requirements. Future Networks: Intensify relationships between standard bodies and collaborative research projects. Start addressing migration steps from NGN to Future Networks. Recommendation Resolution GSC-15/10 should be updated to reflect a new strategic direction towards future networks. Proposed revision in GTSC9-xx.
