Next Generation Network (NGN) and digital lifestyle

 Next Generation Network (NGN) and digital lifestyle : With the explosive growth of the Internet over the past several years, consumers have come to realize that the Internet will continue to affect the way they live. I can infer that the customer can live without food for 5 days but cannot live without internet. The purpose of saying this is that our life is incomplete without internet or it is meaningless. Because our many needs and a lot of information are fulfilled by the Internet. I am also not hesitant to write that our life is like a dark room without internet.

“Streaming Video”, “On‐line gaming” and “Voice Over IP (VoIP)” will become the next technologies that consumers welcome into their homes just as they accepted other IP applications such as E‐mail and web surfing only a short while ago.

• Fiber in Access is needed

– But main barrier is civil work in last mile

– FTTH: Greenfield or syndicated ducts

– FTTN: if last mile infrastructure issue

• WiMAX complementary to Fiber

– Low dense areas

– < 10 Mbps/user
