Next Generation Networks

Next Generation Networks (NGN) is a broad term to describe changes to telecommunication core and access networks to provide for modern day voice, data and media services.

In March 2008 the Commission launched a study into NGN. In line with the Terms of Reference, the study aims to:

  • identify where there is consensus, and where and how views diverge;
  • provide a strategic assessment of the likely impact of technological change on
  • market structure and competition; and
  • provide guidance as to where regulatory intervention is unlikely to be warranted
  • and circumstances where regulation may be considered.

Reccordings from the NGN Conference can be downloaded from http://www.r2.co.nz/20090226/

Next Steps

The Commission intends to consult on the work programme.
