Regulatory Issues: Consumer Protection

Next Generation Networks (NGN), provides new opportunities to increasing consumer choice.
It also raises new challenges for Quality of Service (QoS) & consumer protection.
Consumers have expectations of PSTN voice quality
need access to comparable, reliable and independent information about price, quality and service features to empower them to switch with confidence.
consumer need protection against threats to cyber security- identity theft by phishing, malicious virus dissemination via SPAM, the transmission of harmful content, etc.

Regulatory Issues & Consumer Protection
![Page 12: Next Generation Networks (NGN): Quality of Service Issues](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071600/613d14cb736caf36b75916a8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
There are a number of QoS-related aspects that need to be addressed as NGN is deployed. These include:
• Service disruption during migration from PSTN to NGN.
• Management of end-to-end voice quality of service.
• Access to emergency services & call location.
• Differentiation of QoS.
• Network integrity.
• Network security.

Consumer Protection: NGN QoS
![Page 13: Next Generation Networks (NGN): Quality of Service Issues](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071600/613d14cb736caf36b75916a8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In NGN need is to differentiate between
real-time interactive services, eg voice and video telephony;
Audio and video quality consistency, interactive multimedia environment
real-time non-interactive services, eg television transmission;
and near real-time interactive services, eg instant messaging.

Consumer Protection : NGN QoS
![Page 14: Next Generation Networks (NGN): Quality of Service Issues](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071600/613d14cb736caf36b75916a8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
For voice telephony - important is to control delay, jitter, error rate and packet loss
video telephony demands a higher guaranteed bandwidth to maintain a certain quality of service
Delay is less important for delivering quality in “streaming”services like television
and for instant messaging only a minimum level of service quality across the parameters is needed
Reliability and performance of a VoIP service

Consumer Protection: NGN QoS
1. Network latency:- Latency is the measure of duration of a round trip for a data packet between specific source and destination CPE’s/Router Ports.
2. Packet loss:-
This is the %age of packets lost to the total packets transmitted between two designated points CPE’s/Router Ports.

4. Service Availability/uptime:-Service availability means the operational hours of the service (% age);
Benchmark => 98% 5. Provision/Activation Time:-
the time taken from the date of receipt of valid application to the date when the service is activated.Benchmark: 100% within 15days
6. Fault Repair/Restoration Time:-the time taken to restore a service from the time of the fault was reported
Benchmark- Next day: > 90% & within 3 days: 99%
