Accepted 11 March, 2011 The development of next-generation networks (NGN) is a growing trend in the global telecommunications sector. Although the technological requirements are known, NGNs target a new generation of users, sources for revenue, and regulation. Telecom firms in developing countries are encountering new challenges in managing NGN deployment and often seek to draw upon experiences from developed countries. However, the differences in technological needs, market profitability, and legislative framework are remarkable, and the mapping of those experiences is not always possible. In this paper, the authors analyze the main differences between developed and developing countries to define an appropriate approach for developing countries. Also, examples of NGN introduction in developing countries are analyzed and discussed from the viewpoint of speeds, investments, and revenue opportunities. Based on the analyses discussed in this paper, an analytical framework for a national model to plan and deploy NGNs in emerging economies is proposed, with the focus of facilitating developing countries’ paths towards implementing an NGN. The roles of government and public-private partnerships are emphasized. Key words : Next-generation networks, broadband access, developing countries, analytical framework, national model, public-private partnership, government. INTRODUCTION From a technological perspective, NGN is based on a and profits over the past few decades?

Dortch, Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Broadband Industry Practices, WC Docket No. 07-52 Dear Ms. Dortch: On April 21, on behalf of Vuze, Inc. (“Vuze”), the undersigned e-mailed the attached material to Aaron Goldberger and Ian Dillner, both legal advisors to Chairman Kevin J. Martin. The material reflects the results of a recent study conducted by Vuze, in which Vuze created and made available to its users a software plug-in that measures the rate at which network communications are being interrupted by reset messages. The Vuze plug-in measures all network interruptions, and cannot differentiate between reset activity occurring in the ordinary course and reset activity that is artificially interposed by a network operator. While Vuze, therefore, has drawn no firm conclusions from its network monitoring study, it believes the results are significant enough to raise them with network operators and commence a dialog regarding their network management practices. Accordingly, Vuze has sent the attached letters to four of the network operators whose rate of reset activity appeared to be higher than that of many others. While Vuze continues to believe that Commission involvement in this Marlene H.
