The future of IP interconnection, technical, economic, and public policy aspects
Final report
Publication metadata
Network interconnection by means of the Internet Protocol (IP) has been a vital enabler of the Internet’s ubiquity and success. IP-based interconnection has usually been achieved without explicit regulatory obligations, and has for the most part been highly effective. With the increasing importance of the Internet in the global economy, the significance of IP-based interconnection will become even
greater in the years to come. A number of technological and market developments pose challenges to IP-based interconnection, and to traditional interconnection in the fixed (PSTN) and mobile (PLMN) networks as well. Notably, these networks are physically and logically converging to IP-based Next Generation Networks (NGNs). Interconnection arrangements for switched PSTN/PLMN networks have been markedly different than those for IP networks, not only at a technical level, but also in terms of associated regulatory obligations. The convergence of these networks raises difficult questions as to how interconnection should be regulated going forward. Indeed, it is the convergence to NGNs that makes this study particularly timely.
