NGN Considerations…
 NGN will lead to re-monopolization in the
telecommunication sector?
 Less Bottlenecks / New bottlenecks
 Dynamic efficiencies
 Competition?
 NGN as an effect of competition
 NGN enhances level of competition
 New interconnection regime?

Helping the world communicate
NGN Considerations…
 NGN will enable structural separation?
 Networks / Services / Applications
 Voice loses meaning?
 Tech: IP protocol
 Business: Voice plus Content
 Present regulatory framework remains
relevant?
 Evolution is unavoidable
 Convergence (T+B+C)

Meaningful concepts
 Neutrality
 Technological neutrality
 Net-neutrality
 Universality
 Universal service
 New platforms…
 Interoperability
 Standardization
 Asymmetric regulation

Conclusions
 All-IP environment accelerates
convergence process of telecom and
broadcasting industry
 Required strict distinction of transport and content
regulation
 Imposing old regulatory schemes to the new
technologies may weaken growth dynamics
 Regulatory forbearance will impact growth dynamics
of the IPTV market
 Institutional issues
 New dimension of regulatory reform
 Competition issues
 All-IP environment fosters competition
