Foreword
We are pleased to present the eighth edition of Trends in Telecommunication Reform, a key part of our dialogue with the world’s information and communication technology (ICT) policy-makers and regulators. This 2007 edition, entitled the Road to Next-Generation Networks, focuses on the relentless transformation of the ICT sector from one centred almost exclusively on providing voice services to an industry in which voice is only one of many services provided. Today, IPTV, user-generated and social networking content, advertising and online gaming are among the hottest new services on offer. Tomorrow promises to bring even more innovative revenue-generators. The key to this transformation has been a shift from “circuit-switched” voice-based single service networks to “packet-based”, broadband multi-service networks.
