Intellectual Property Rights
IPRs essential or potentially essential to the present document may have been declared to ETSI. The information
pertaining to these essential IPRs, if any, is publicly available for ETSI members and non-members, and can be found
in ETSI SR 000 314: "Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); Essential, or potentially Essential, IPRs notified to ETSI in
respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the ETSI Web
server (http://ipr.etsi.org).
Pursuant to the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation, including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee
can be given as to the existence of other IPRs not referenced in ETSI SR 000 314 (or the updates on the ETSI Web
server) which are, or may be, or may become, essential to the present document.
Foreword
This Special Report (SR) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Telecommunications and Internet
converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking (TISPAN).
The present document describes the results of the review of NGN standardisation from the regulatory point of view.
ETSI
6 ETSI SR 080 005 V3.1.1 (2011-07)
1 Scope
The regulatory requirements defined in the existing NGN documents cover only a part of the overall regulatory aspects
which should be taken into account. For instance in document TS 181 005 [i.8] (Service and Capability Requirements)
requirements are limited to the following issues: Lawful Intercept, Emergency, Malicious Communication Identify,
Anonymous Communications Rejection.
The NGN related regulation was studied by ETSI project STF 311. The results were published in SR 002 586 [i.98]
(Consequence on the NGN standardization activity from the EU ECN&S regulatory view point). The findings of
STF 311 project are used as a basis of the present document.
The present document goes through the whole area of the regulation and provides a high level description of the NGN
standardisation. The contents of the EU regulation and TISPAN documents are reviewed to ensure that the regulatory
requirements have been properly incorporated into the NGN specifications. In order to keep the volume of the
document reasonable only a brief reference is made to the relevant documents.
It should be noted that general regulatory issues (e.g. interoperability and numbering as such) and radio regulated issues
(e.g. EMC) are outside the scope of the present document.

4 Main purposes of the present document
The main purposes of the present document are:
• to provide an high level overview on the NGN standards from the regulatory point of view,
• to collect together regulatory and public interest issues for NGN standardization,
• to increase the awareness of the regulatory and public interest requirements for the ongoing NGN
standardization,
• to carry out a review on the contents of the existing NGN documents in order to ensure that the requirements
are properly incorporated into the specifications,
• to inform TISPAN Working Groups if inconsistencies or shortages are found,
• to improve the visibility of the regulatory and public interest topics for the development and deployment of
NGN technology,
• to use the standardized concept and terminology (same language) when regulatory and public interest
requirements are discussed,
• to assess applicability and feasibility of the mechanisms currently used for traditional networks and evaluate
possible new mechanisms provided by NGN.
5 Principles applied in the preparation of the present
document
The requirements have been grouped into four areas as follows:
• principles and basic characteristics of NGN;
• network and service provision;
• security and privacy protection; and
• consumer aspects.
Examples of the individual requirements are listed in Figure 1.
ETSI
14 ETSI SR 080 005 V3.1.1 (2011-07)
Regulatory requirements
Basic principles e.g.
- Business Models
- Roles and Players
Freedom of choice for users e.g.
- Architecture
- Operator independence
- Provider selection
- Mobility
- Unbundling
Quality of service e.g.
- Harmonized mechanisms for QoS/NP
provision measurements in multi-
operator/multivendor NGN environment
Security e.g.
- Protection against communications
threats and risks
- Identification, authentication and
authorisation of users, providers and

services
- Service and content protection

Privacy protection e.g.
- Confidentiality of communication and
Standardisation of NGN
related traffic data
Service and Network
- Anonymity
capabilities
- Protection against malicious
communication
Consumer protection e.g.
- Technical aspects related to the
subscriptions and service provision
- Protection against harmful content
material
Emergency communications e.g.
- Identification and location information
for emergency services
- Capability to override user preventions
- Priorities in use of NGN resources
eAccessibility e.g.
- Alternative communication media for
disabled users (e.g. conversion from voice
to text)
- User profiles and personalization

Figure 1: Regulatory requirements vs. NGN standardisation
The preparation of the present document was phased as follows (Figure 2):
1) Regulatory aims
The regulatory aims were organised into the same categories which were used in the preparation of List of
Standards by Expert Group of EC COCOM e.g. freedom of choice for users (alternative solutions,
competition) and privacy protection.
2) Identification of technical regulatory requirements
The requirements in the EU regulations (e.g. Communications Directives 2002 and amendments 2009) were
transformed into the technical requirements for the NGN e.g. protection against communication threats.
ETSI
15 ETSI SR 080 005 V3.1.1 (2011-07)
3) Need for NGN specific network and service capabilities
It was investigated what NGN specific network or service capabilities are needed to fulfil the technical
requirement identified in phase 2 e.g. possibility to restrict the presentation of identification or location
information.
4) Need for standardisation
It was investigated whether the NGN specific network or service capabilities identified in phase 3 should be
standardised or not e.g. in order to ensure the interoperability in multi-operator and multivendor environments.
5) Results of the review
The current TISPAN documents on requirements normally presented in Stage 1 descriptions were reviewed
and commented. ITU-T Recommendations were noted when appropriate.
1) Regulatory aims
2) Regulatory aims in terms of
technical requirements for NGN
3) Need for NGN
specific network or
service capability?
Yes
4) Need to standardise
the capability ?
Yes
5) Review of relevant standards

1) General principles
ITU-T Recommendation Y.2001 [i.12] "General overview of NGN":
The Recommendation provides the NGN with the following basic characteristics:
• "broadband capabilities with end-to-end Quality of Service and converged services between fixed and mobile
networks"
• "independence of service-related functions from underlying transport technologies and support of multiple last
mile technologies including mobility"
• "unrestricted access by users to different service providers and interworking with legacy networks via open
interfaces"
• "compliant with all regulatory requirements, for example concerning emergency communications, security,
privacy, lawful interception etc."
Conclusions:
• The defined NGN concept and its basic principles support the primary aims of the EU regulation.
• NGN evolution should be supported by regulators and it should be ensured that the defined principles
will be followed in the ongoing NGN standardisation.
