Innovation Opportunities Abound –
Promoted and Rewarded with Number Portability
 Total mobile data revenue is projected to grow from
$150B in 2007 to $300B in 2012 worldwide and
accounts for 29% of total mobile revenue1
 IMS spending are projected to be over $7B in 20102
 VoIP adoption is growing, reaching $10B by 2011 for
US residential VoIP market along with 19.2% CAGR

Interconnection for Converged Services
Same Needs
Advanced Implementations
Interconnect physically
From TDM to IP for mobile and fixed
Interconnect for voice
Beyond voice to multimedia, IM, 3D
animation, and more with not only
network but also content/app providers
What Does It Take to Deliver Converged Services End-to-End?
1. Identify target user
Telephone Number still as primary
identifier with others for applications
2. Find network for target user
From TDM to IP – with Number
Portability
3. Deliver service to target user
Service-level interworking with service
interconnect data exchange
It’s about Delivering Services on IP!

Reality Check
 IP is the underlying network for these innovative
converged services
 Most IP-enable services such as Voice over IP are
still interconnected via PSTN
 While operators are rolling out IMS infrastructure –
interconnection via IP for many are still in the
planning phase
Interconnection is a silent missing puzzle piece to
achieving the promises of innovative converged services

Industry is Responding –
Beyond Technology Standardization
 IP Interworking (IPI) Initiative with IP eXchange (IPX)
from GSMA
 i3 Forum from international wholesale operators
 PacketCable IP Interconnect project from US cable
operators
 IP interconnect federation of Dutch MSOs…
and more

Planning for Converged Interconnection –
Extending Service Reach
 Build out interconnect infrastructure from TDM to IP
 Interconnect and interwork at service level
 Manage subscriber-based service interconnection
data efficiently
 Telephone numbers are still key to operations and network
 More decoupling of numbers and “implicit assumptions”
 Need efficient, centrally management of subscriber-based
service data to manage the “decoupling”
 Enable extension of service reach – including those
provided by application or content providers
 Support number portability to further reward service
innovation

Efficient Management of Service
Interconnection Data – Lessons Learned
 Enable operators to exchange information required to
deliver services end to end
 Most efficient via a centralized approach
 Basic information to extend service reach
 Serving provider (portability-corrected if number portability is
supported)
 Service(s) supported
 Serving network gateway (in URI) based on the application
requested (e.g., voice, video, SMS, etc.)
 Expandable to other user service data, such as name,
presence, location, and more
 Ensure data security and validity
 Rule-based data management and access

Conclusions
 Promote and reward service innovation with
number portability
 Accelerate innovative service adoption with
converged interconnection
 Efficiently manage service interconnect data
with a neutrally managed clearinghouse to
benefit the industry eco system players
