Trends: Shifting from traditional<br />

telecommunications to data communications<br />

This is often referred to as the shift to "All-IP" networking.<br />

This embodies:<br />

• A shift from circuit-switched to packet-switched<br />

• such as: from Intelligent network (IN) to IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem (IMS)<br />

• Introduction of new technologies:<br />

• Voice over IP (VoIP)<br />

• Number portability<br />

• Context-awareness (including location-awareness) in services<br />

• From services being what the telecommunication operator offers to you<br />

to what anyone offers to you. This is accompanied by a major shift in:<br />

• How services are created<br />

• Where services are provisioned<br />

• Where data is stored and who stores it<br />

• Desperate ef<strong>for</strong>ts to retain control, market share, high profits, access to<br />

phone numbers, and call contents, … - the genie is reluctant to go<br />

back into the bottle!<br />
