TECH.1 : Innovating towards new wireless networks
Tuesday, 06 October 2009, 14:30 - 16:00, Room K
The transition to all-IP broadband networks in both the fixed and mobile environments has emerged as both
a significant driver and a future enabler. The demand for broadband is evidenced by the rapidly growing
focus on advanced FTTx rollouts and the huge increases in traffic experienced in HSPA networks. But,
unlike traditional voice services, broadband revenues are not proportional to broadband traffic volumes.
Sustainable broadband services are only possible if new network technologies can be deployed that deliver
a much lower cost per bit. Future networks will need to deliver global connectivity between devices,
networks, services and applications for a globally interoperable future ICT infrastructure.
KEY QUESTIONS: - What will be the nature of the convergence of mobile and fixed broadband services?
- What are the implications of these technologies on network development and service provision ?

TECH.2 : Service and application delivery in a converged world
Tuesday, 06 October 2009, 16:30 - 18:00, Room K
Next generation networks in an all-IP world will provide high capacity pipes for the delivery of services.
What will fill those pipes, who will be the service providers and what will be the key competitive
differentiator? Forecasters paint a future dominated by waves of consumer video, a future in which best
effort will no longer be sufficient and where real time and non-real time services have to coexist. Service
providers will need to deploy architectural frameworks that support policy control of access networks and
continuously monitor and ensure the user's quality of experience. Quality of experience, driven by
technology though the implementation of appropriate architectures and best practices, is becoming a key
competitive differentiator.

TECH.3 : CTO Roundtable for growth
Wednesday, 07 October 2009, 11:00 - 12:30, Room C
Technology is constantly evolving, shaped by market forces and the needs of business and consumers.
While the economic situation is having its impact on new product development, the emergence of new
services and applications is a constant stimulus to innovation in the ICT industry. Picking winners and
losers is a particular challenge in a difficult economic climate. To meet the challenge of 'Internet for the
next One Billion+' will require meeting the requirements of new markets, new user demands, new services
on the network and evolving infrastructure. The global standardization landscape will need to be clarified to
avoid overlaps and complexity in standards development and to ensure that industry priorities are met and
met rapidly. The growth of cloud computing raises many new challenges and concerns about climate
change and energy-efficiency add a new dimension to product development.

TECH.4 : Future entertainment and mobile broadband
Wednesday, 07 October 2009, 14:30 - 16:00, Room K
The deployment of next generation networks will allow service providers to supply new innovative
offerings such as multi-play services, IPTV, fixed-mobile convergence solutions and enterprise telephony.
A torrent of competitive broadband offerings is about to be unleashed in both the mobile and fixed
environments. Soon there will be support for high-definition television content, HD VoD services and
high-speed data traffic that will be available to consumers in and around the network and to any device and
place the consumer demands.
KEY QUESTIONS: - What role will unicast, multicast and broadcast technologies play in delivering these
offerings? Will success come through IPTV, internet TV or Mobile TV? Will home networks become
integrated into existing infrastructure?

TECH.5 : Future spectrum needs: supporting a digital transition
Wednesday, 07 October 2009, 16:30 - 18:00, Room K
The future is wireless - but frequency spectrum is limited. There has long been a need to find new ways of
sharing spectrum and, with a future dominated by mobile broadband and consumer video, addressing that
challenge has now become paramount. Attention is now being focused on the use of lower frequencies for
mobile broadband networks to provide wider coverage in rural areas and improved indoor penetration in
urban areas. The availability of "digital dividend" spectrum resulting from the migration from analogue to
digital terrestrial TV is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - but an opportunity that is by no means certain to
materialise given other demands on this spectrum.

TECH.6 : Future internet
Thursday, 08 October 2009, 11:00 - 12:30, Room C
Fundamental changes are happening to the internet. Unwanted traffic, choking of the routing system,
mobility, congestion, privacy, trust and reputation issues are all restricting progress. The very structure of
the internet has to change to meet these challenges. Does the future internet mean a shift from the
end-to-end principles towards a trust-to-trust principle ? Will the internet evolve from from interconnecting
nodes towards interconnecting information ? What are the new mechanisms to improve the quality of
3
end-to-end connectivity and new ways of information storage and delivery?
