Communication services in the Web era: How can Telco join the OTT hangout?

摘要

Evolutions of communications and the advent of Web real time technologies are further challenging the Telco ecosystem. New architectures are emerging to enable new services in a context where assets as identity, signaling and network management are decoupled and virtually delaminated, so to speak. This paper tackles three challenges to face to enable Telco to embrace these evolutions. First we need a secure, trustful and privacy-friendly way of using services provided by various identity and communication providers. Second, we need a versatile framework to develop and deploy communication services. The third challenge is to overcome the limitation of besteffort networking by enabling specialized network services for de-perimeterized service delivery.
