3 International Telecommunication Union 3 1. Istanbul Action Plan (2003-2006) Programme 1: Regulatory reform Programme 2 : Technologies and telecommunication /ICT network development Programme 3 : E-strategies and e-services/applications Programme 4 : Economics and finance, including costs and tariffs Programme 5 : Human capacity-building Programme 6 : Special programme for Least Developed Countries

4 International Telecommunication Union 4 2. Challenges of Change Mobile overtakes fixed-lines (Uganda)

5 International Telecommunication Union 5 Broadband IP Broadband brings convergence, and convergence brings change... IP Telephony

6 International Telecommunication Union 6 …Can TV companies provide Telephony? …Can Telecommunication companies provide TV services? Source: ITU, Telecommunication Regulatory Survey, 2000 (Data includes all Member States that responded to the survey) …Competition …Broadband Wireless Access

8 International Telecommunication Union 8 3. IP satellite and Connectivity in Developing Countries Outline of a typical Internet Node in Developing Countries

9 International Telecommunication Union 9 Intelsat and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in October 1999 to promote and develop Universal Access in rural and isolated areas.

10 International Telecommunication Union 10 MMDS Access (Microwave Multipoint Distribution System) MMDS one way

11 International Telecommunication Union 11 Next Generation of Multi-point Wireless Ethernet System Six Base Stations provide 360-degree coverage, delivering up to 360 Mbps per hub site, and connections to Service Providers. The point-to- multipoint communications may range to 13 Km. IP Applications Voice over IP offers considerable potential for both traditional carriers and new Internet Service Providers. Converged voice and data networks allow a more efficient use of infrastructure and considerable cost reductions.

12 International Telecommunication Union 12 Medium Voltage Cable Low Voltage Network Transformer Station (HV/MV) (110-380/10-30KV) Transformer (MV/LV) (10-30KV/ 0.4-0.110KV) Fiber Backbone IP Connectivity and PLC (Power Line Communication)

13 International Telecommunication Union 13 ITU - Intelsat MoU MoU objectives: Establish a framework for cooperation and encourage other leaders in the communications industry worldwide to join their efforts. (Based on non exclusive partnership). Develop a program to assess the technical and financial needs of rural and isolated areas. Recommend satellite-based pilot programs for the development of commercial communications infrastructure. Solution Set: 1) Simple PSTN Extension 2) Hybrid Voice & Internet 3) High Speed Internet Access

18 International Telecommunication Union 18 4. Conclusion "The ITU’s Telecommunication Development Bureau has well- established programmes of activities to facilitate connectivity and access, foster policy, regulatory and network readiness, expand human capacity through training programmes, formulate financing strategies and e-enable enterprises in developing countries. This is indeed a winning combination for bridging the Digital Divide." Mr. Hamadoun I. TOURE, Director, BDT BDT is collaborating with ITU Member States and ITU-D sector members to promote and implement Universal Access to telecommunications through the accelerated deployment of cost- effective and reliable satellite-based telecommunications networks that will increase teledensity and extend IP and Broadband Connectivity to underserved populations.
