•  "Internet  protocol  networks  are  like  Pac  Man.  Eventually  they  will  eat  everything.”  – Hossein  Eslambolchi,  AT&T's  CTO,  2003  

•  "Anyone  who  relies  on  the  fact  that  they  own  a  scarce  distribu7on  resource  is  going  to  face  ten  years  of  turmoil.”  –  Paul  Sagan,  chief  execuHve  of  Akamai,  2007  

•  "If  a  customer  likes  it,  it  doesn't  maIer  what  it  does  to  your  economics  –  it's  going  to  happen.”  –  Jack  Cassidy,  CEO  of  CincinnaH  Bell,  2008

Latency  Not  Important  

Latency  is  Important  

ConversaHon,    even  with  a      voice  mail  system,  requires  low  latency

Mouth-­‐to-­‐Ear  delay  

Voice  QoS  

1.  Dedicated  wires  =  20th  century  approach  – Cable  &  FiOS  use  separate  logical  path  today  

2.  Simple  prioriHes  – Mobile  telephony  (2G-­‐  &  3G-­‐specific  approaches)  – Enterprise  IP-­‐PBXs  (via  DiffServ  or  802.1p)  

3.  Extra  bandwidth,  i.e.  “headroom”  – Vonage,  etc.  – Skype  

Mobile  download  bandwidth

Voice  on  4G  

•  LTE  is  all-­‐IP:    Voice  services  a  work-­‐in-­‐progress  1.  Fallback  to  3G  voice  2.  Leverage  IMS  /  “One  voice”  /  VoLTE  (not  VoLGA)  

•  4-­‐6  years  for  widespread  4G  voice  services  based  on  carrier-­‐provided  QoS  

Over-­‐the-­‐Top  •  Video                                                                        Social  – Happening  now                                                    –  Game  over  

– Happening  fast  !  

•  Voice  – Happening  now  – TransiHoning  market-­‐by-­‐market,  as  bandwidth  headroom  becomes  available.  

– Over-­‐the-­‐top  voice  on  4G  is  a  certainty  

Over  the  Top  is    the  Future  of  Communica7on
