“I’ll predict that before the IP
telephone revolution is over,
more then 50% of phone calls will
be dialled to IM (Instant
Messaging) screen names. IM
itself will be a kind of interactive
caller ID” Scott Petrack, eDial
Founder, Alcatel
New players have same objective to add
revenue producing services to IM/VoIM
Connectivity of VoIM islands an issue to be
resolved through OPEN Systems
Benefits of Open Systems and Network
Equipment
 Open system standards allow developers and service
providers to focus on providing useful services
instead of developing technology, (e.g Asterisk)
 As more network elements and application
components become open, service providers will
become developers as well as solutions providers
 A level playing technology playing field will allow
small and agile players to emerge quickly and
provide compelling integrated services.
Open Systems
 Customers want homogenized service offering with a
common look and feel
 SIP standards open IP market to 3rd party Applications
 Applications need to expose a non-proprietary API for
service creation and/or customization
 IP Softswitch becomes media mixing, applications enabling
engine for 3rd party niche service deployments – prepaid,
ring back tones, single number, Leap, find me, customer
specific IVR, etc…

Impact of Open Standard Services
 Major incumbent equipment suppliers, application and service
providers will publish their “defacto standard” as “open” to ITU-T

Open “standards” proponents now taking positions on “whose
standard is best” What is happening with Megaco?
 The applications development community have published open
source




lower cost development environments
rapid development of innovative services
access to a large group of collaborative developers
undermines proprietary applications (e.g Microsoft -IM)
 Commoditization of Basic Services

Commercialization of media services, Voice services
Conclusions – Open Systems &
Network Equipment Design
The Industry is moving to a consumer driven market rather than
technology – Supply and Demand - The network is FREE
Open systems will enable rapid development of new and useful
services that will replace revenues lost in the traditional legacy PSTN
Networks will continue to be islands due to security and specialized
functionality requirements
The existing VoIP enabling network elements will rapidly evolve as
more generic applications are made available,
Standardized signaling schemes, conventions are required for
application developers
