The world is changing Media convergence services diversification OTT services are challenging the "traditional" service-

delivery models

What should telecoms do to address the changes? Change the business model? Change the way they build the networks? Change how they deliver and charge for services?

And if so, why now?

OK, so what is a telecom to do now? Let your network generate you a revenue stream Regardless of services and their service providers Regardless of media used While keeping existing services and building on

existing infrastructure

This is an easy task, right?

Policy enforcement and control Efficient positioning of policy enforcement Traditional model: BRAS as a single PEP Open-access networks require distributed PEPs AAA clients located at intelligent access Network scalability and segmentation

Efficient positioning of policy control Traditional model: AAA server as a centralized PCP Open-access networks require several PCPs

Trends to consider Penetration of MPLS(-TP) into the access The effect on traditional role of a BRAS Does BRAS become a LSR? What about AAA?

The move towards EPC Convergence to IMS/EPC The introduction of BPCF entity

Media-independent policy-enforcement entities Awareness of access-network conditions,

especially if shared (PON, mobile, DSL)
