4) Operational Issues
What are the key operational considerations beyond OSS/BSS requirements, IP address management, security, QoS assurance, network performance and more.
5) SME Network Services
What network infrastructure is required to support small and medium enterprise ( SME) customers, traditional telco SME services ( Frame Relay, ATM, IP-VPN, Private Lines, Centrex, Long Distance, ect.), cable network options ( MPLS, GIG-E MANs, Dark Fiber, ect.) and voice service alternatives ( circuit vs. softswitch) will be presented in this closing session.
