1. Structure of ITU-T SGs: Vertical direction Middleware Service (User) Service (User) Service (Server) Transport Access Core Home FTTx, xDSL, Cable, Satellite, WLAN, WiMax, DMB etc. QoS/QoE/NP (SG12 + SG13) Traffic/NNAR (SG2) Control (SG11) SG9 (Cable), SG15 (Transport), SG19 (mobile), other SODs SG2+SG16 ? Charging/ Accounting (SG3) OAM/Manag. (SG4) Security (SG17) Overall Architecture Cable aspects (SG9) Other Telecom aspects (SG13) Mobile aspects (SG19)

Configuration of IP-TV Standards Program Service Provider Program Consumer IP Underline TP (Broadcasting) Underline TP (Fixed/Wireless) Underline TP (Mobile) Platform Media Processing Codec Control Common Platform QoS/NP Broadcasting/ Multicasting/ Unicasting etc. Traffic control Security IP-TV Services Additional Services Service Control/AAA Transport Capability (Broadband etc.) Service/User Profile Security IPR

IP-TV service definition ad relevant services (e.g. supplementary and/or additional services such as SMS over IP-TV, VoIP over IP-TV etc.) : SG2 and SG16 Overall architecture of IP-TV and network capabilities : SG13 and SG19 (SG 9 from IPcable point of view) Signaling and Network control : SG11 Transport capabilities and network aspects : SG15 Media processing, codec and service control : SG16 Security on IP-TV : SG17 QoS and Network Performance : SG12 and SG13 OAM and Management : SG4 and SG13 Traffic Control and NNAR : SG2 Accounting and Charging: SG3 Possibly need involve most of Study Groups Too many coordination and too slow Hard to coordinate 2. Configuration of IP-TV Standards : Vertical + Horizontal

3. Standard requirements on IP-TV Time to market: Some one already started and others are being ready Encourage cooperation and competition: Support building Global Market Harmonization for global standards: Incorporation of SDOs results Adding Value through ITU-T SDO ASDO B SDO C SDO D ITU-T Management Security Configuration Operation Service and Business Network and Business

4. Procedure for IP-TV Standards Collection of Views Views from Broadcasting Domain: Terrestrial + Satellite Views from Cable Domain : IPcablecom Views from Telecom Domain: Fixed + Mobile + Wireless Analysis of Standards Standards from Broadcasting Domain : ITU-R Standards from Cable Domain : ITU-T SG9 Standards from from Telecom Domain Identify gaps and missing standards Objectives and ToR Set up common objectives Build Terms of References on ITU-T activity Action Coordination with other SDOs and Develop Standards

5. Process for IP-TV Standards SG 2 SG 19 ITU-T TSB Director IP-TV Focus Group SDO A SDO Y Bring expertise Harmoni- zation Need special entity: for speed up activity but flexible to collaborate with SDOs Project approach: one group, one time plan and limited life ITU-T Recommendation A.7: Focus Group could be the best

5. Process for IP-TV Standards ITU-T TSB Director IP-TV FG Management WG Work Area WG 1 Strategic Coordination Group: Coordination with other SDOs Develop how to incorporate SDOs results into ITU-T work Arrange work scope and areas jointly with relevant SDOs Terminology on IP-TV WG 2 Service requirements and types Media processing and control technology WG 3 Architecture and Network capabilities Any-casting technology: Broad-, Multi-, Uni-casting etc. WG 4 QoS and Network Performance aspects Traffic and resource control WG 5 Operation technology: NNAR, Billing and Security Management aspects: Network and service management

5. Process for IP-TV Standards FG Management Chairman: 1 Vice Chairman: 2 WG Management Technical Leaders : 3 (each WG) Secretariat Coordinator (ITU) Coordinator (SDO A) Coordinator (SDO Y)

1 st stage (End of 2006) : Solve the urgent market demands and interoperability problem –Possible functional architecture and service deployment scenarios –Available Protocol and interface specifications 2 nd stage (End of 2007) : Solve the outstanding technical issues on QoS, Mobility, Security, Charging, etc. –Provide end-to-end QoS, network/application security –Provide usage-based charging, etc. 3 rd stage(2008 ~): solve the on-going technical issues and business convergence scenarios –Develop protocols and service scenarios with voice and video encoding and security options –Extend NGN capabilities for IP TV service in terms of location, QoS control, navigation, directory, processing, and storaging, etc. Stage Procedures of IP TV Standardization 6. Future Works

1 st Stage (~ 2006) 2 nd Stage (2007) 3 rd Stage (2008 ~ ) Overall Services Minimum integrations among different solutions Solve Technical Problems for Converged Transport and Service Support various IP TV business solutions Requirements Alignment with NGN Release 1 Release 2 capabilities on interactive controls and multimedia features Capabilities to support various IP TV scenarios Network & Service Architecture Alignment with the existing NGN-FRA Open architecture for different scenarios Converged architecture Service Scenarios & Protocols Available solutions by using the existing systems and technologies Support the release 2 requirements and open architecture Converged business scenarios and protocols Operations & Managements Based on existing service provider environments Converged business models Various multimedia business models Remarks Minimum interoperability among different solutions Converged solutions from near-term market demands Consider new system and technology evolution 6.
