June 2005 Richard Stastny Assessing the Business ModelsVertical Multiplay ?Stovepipes“vs.the Horizontal Layered ModelSeizing the VoIP OpportunitiesRome, October 5th, 2005 Richard Stastny, ?FEG* Questions (I will try) to Answer What is the Impact of Voice and Everything over IP to the Telecom Industry? What is the future of Telcos? Providing Services in a “multiplay” vertical stovepipe – e.g. the IMS NGN Model? Broadband access providers “only” in a horizontal layered model enabling third party service providers A combination of both? Are new approaches needed? What is the role of Viral and Peer 2 Peer Networks? Trusted User Identities by Telcos or by Third Parties? Assumptions (End-)users want connectivity via any device, anywhere, at anytime: Global mobility Personal Communication Which leads to the Portable Internet fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) multi-play (everything over IP) Some Clarifications first What are “stovepipes”? from a regulatory perspective from a technical perspective What is vertical vs horizontal? What are Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Viral Networks? What means “multiplay”? What means Everything over IP (EoIP)? Regulatory Stovepipese.g.: US Regulation A Change of Perspective A Change of Perspective A Change of Perspective What about regulation?

P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes
