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.

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 service-related 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 http://www.itu.int/osg/csd/wtpf/wtpf2009/ngn.html
