9 Capacity Building Executive Training on Cost modeling and impact on ICT development: Strategic overview for Head of Regulatory Authorities, Geneva, Switzerland, November 2008 Professional Training on Developing a telecommunication services cost model for technical staff, a step-by step approach Geneva, Switzerland, November 2008 COSITU Upgrading - ITU model for the calculation of costs and tariffs 9

10 Recent Direct assistance and capacity building Direct assistances in NGN development strategy (e.g. Cuba, Djibouti) 2008 Workshop on NGN Interconnection in the Arab Region, Manama, Bahrain, May 2007, all presentations available at D/treg/Events/Seminars/2007/Bahrain/agenda.html TAF and TAL Seminars on Cost and Tariffs for Some activities planned for 2009: Central American Workshop on NGN Regulation Assistance to the Arab Region for the implementation of NGN 10

11 BDT Projects: Project: NGN Planning Migration and Applications This project is one of the ITU initiatives and seeks for ITU assistance to developing countries in the region in smooth migration from existing networks into the Next Generation Network (NGN) by studying specific questions as requested by Member States in order to develop Handbook/Guidelines on applying NGN network planning methodologies, software tools and technologies and migration strategies for NGN. Project: International Telecommunication Union - Central Science Research Telecommunication Institute: International Telecommunication Testing Centre Under this project, ITU and ZNIIS will collaborate to create an International Telecommunication Testing Centre (ITTC) for new technologies and will train telecom specialists from developing countries. 11

19 ITU-T SG3 Tariff and accounting principles including related telecommunication economic and policy issues The Recommendation D-271 on Charging and accounting principles for NGN had been approved on April 2008 during the SG3 annual meeting. 19

20 Others ITU-T Initiatives on NGN NGNMFG NGN Management Focus Group The goal of the NGN Management Focus Group is to organize and undertake a centralized approach regarding specification of NGN related Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security Management interfaces. IPTV IPTV Focus Group established in April 2006 IPTV GSI established in Dec 2007 Network aspects of Identification Systems (NID) Joint Coordination Activity (JCA NID) established in July 2006 Extended in 2007 to include sensor networking Identity Management (IdM) IdM Focus Group established in Dec 2006 GSI on IdM established in Dec 2007 Home Networking (HN) Joint Coordination activity (JCA HN) established in March

22 The World Telecommunication Policy Forum WTPF2009 A few words on NGN: The term "next-generation network" or NGN refers to important developments in telecommunication core and access networks to be deployed over the next decade. ITU defines NGN as a packet-based network in which servicerelated functions are independent from underlying transport-related technologies. NGN enables unfettered access for users to networks and to competing service providers and services of their choice. It supports generalised mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users [ITU-T Recommendation Y.2001 (12/2004)]. Selected online resources and policy papers on NGN are available on 22
