Internet Based Service Development

Abstract

The development of telecommunications services is affected by the changes in telecommunications market and in the service provisioning technologies. The market changes follow partly from the regulatory changes and the privatisation of the teleoperator industry and partly from the growing new service providers in mobile and Internet areas. This paper suggests that the current service creation architecture used by incumbent telecom operators may loose its significance in the future. Instead, new service architectures based on Internet and mobile service provisioning models will enter.We present forecasts on Internet access and service market and evaluate the TCP/IP based traffic in future networks. The growth of Internet based services suggests a major change in future telecommunications service provisioning technologies. Furthermore, we present possible service platforms and service management environments available in future telecom service provisioning and conclude some major technology discontinuities in the service development.KeywordsService ManagementService PlatformService ArchitectureUniversal Mobile Telecommunication SystemService CreationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
