The motivation towards <strong>NGN</strong><br />
the Internet was designed for simple connectivity of best-effort<br />
traffic<br />
explosion of data traffic<br />
strong demand for new multimedia services<br />
increasing demand for mobility
The genesis<br />
ITU-T Workshop on IP Networking and Mediacom in Geneva,<br />
April 2001<br />
ITU-T Workshop “<strong>NGN</strong>: what, when and how”, Geneva, July<br />
2003<br />
no common understanding of what an <strong>NGN</strong> is!<br />
So why did ITU-T take lead, when there was no consensus?

ITU-T Rec. Y.2001 (12/2004)<br />
Next Generation Networks (<strong>NGN</strong>)<br />
A packet-based network able to provide telecommunication services<br />
and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoS-enabled<br />
transport technologies and in which service-related functions are<br />
independent from underlying transport-related technologies. It<br />
enables unfettered access for users to networks and to competing<br />
service providers and/or services of their choice. It supports<br />
generalized mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous<br />
provision of services to users.

Generalized mobility<br />
Generalized mobility<br />
The ability for the user or other mobile entities to communicate<br />
and access services irrespective of changes of location or<br />
technical environment. The degree of service availability may<br />
depend on several factors including Access Network capabilities,<br />
service level agreements between the user’s home network and the<br />
visited network (if applicable), etc. Mobility includes the ability of<br />
telecommunication with or without service continuity.
