13、he PSTN transition for Service Providers? How can we further accelerate this transition? Findings: By 2014, the United States will have fewer than 42M access lines Access line losses were nearly 6.6 million between 2Q09 and 2Q10, a drop of 7.3%. By 2014 US consumers will have 31.6 million VoIP lines
14、 accounting for 42.5% of all U.S. access lines. Fixed lines continue to decline; mobile is the preferred choice for voice communication. More than 25% of U.S. consumers aged 18 or older have already given up their voice landline for voice wireless-only service.,11,CLT-WG,Quantifying the PSTN Legacy

As of May 2010, 23% of respondents in a study lived in a mobile-only household The same study also found that 37% of adults in the 18-24 and 30-34 age groups lived in a mobile-only household,Source: National Center for Health Statistics,13,CLT-WG,
19、New Metrics for Broadband Quality (DRAFT),Problem/Opportunity Addressed: As the nation transitions to Next Generation Networks, what kinds of metrics do we need? Findings: An expanding set of applications for broadband networks requires quality and reliability metrics which go beyond simple speed Mu
20、ch work is already underway in this area Metrics for robustness and reliability should take into account the diversity provided by Next Generation Networks.,14,CLT-WG,New Metrics for Broadband Quality (DRAFT),Recommendations:The technical metrics of a replacement of the PSTN need to go beyond just a

23、evice adaption for IP will happen much faster if manufacturers know there is a date certain when they can no longer depend on PSTN. The schedule for transition also depends on the pace for broadband/cellular deployment.Findings The majority of these capabilities are already addressed by replacement
24、technologies Impact will be hardest in rural America Clear advantages to accelerating the sunset of the PSTN?,16,CLT-WG,After the PSTN: Non-carrier stranded assets (DRAFT),Recommendations: Explore end dates for the PSTN. Develop timeline to ensure smooth transition which addresses stranded assets As
25、sure that mobile and/or broadband replacements are available everywhere PSTN is currently provided. The need will be greatest in rural areas. Update the National Broadband Plan to support the PSTN transition. Change USF funding and spending to support universal coverage and other social goals. Furth

27、RAFT),Problem/Opportunity Addressed: Identify necessary regulatory changes to address the change in technology from the PSTN. Maintain or establish the least restrictive regulatory environment that still protects the public interest. Findings Some regulations protect basic rights of citizens, such a
28、s: Universal communications access for the disabled, the poor, and those in rural areas, Reliable access to emergency services, Consumer protection Some regulations are PSTN specific and should not be retained post transition Standards created by organizations that govern public safety alarm systems
29、 (e.g. NFPA) and protect communications for industries critical to the nations infrastructure (e.g. FISO) must be modified to account for regulatory changes in the communications sector.,18,CLT-WG,Regulatory impacts and changes required for the PSTN transition (DRAFT),Universal access to reliable em
30、ergency communications should continue to be guaranteed by regulation. Access to communications for persons with disabilities should be guaranteed by modification of current regulations to acknowledge ubiquity of personal computers. Consumer protections against misuse of the communications system sh
31、ould continue to be regulated with modifications to acknowledge the different landscape of communications. Funding for PSAPs and Universal Service/Lifeline Assistance should be reformulated to cover all aspects of the future communications system. Regulations that support the “regulated monopoly asp
32、ect” of the PSTN should be abandoned. Two tiers of communications, services that meet regulations and those that do not, should be clearly explained to the consumer, who can then make an informed selection; regulations must make available highly reliable communications for critical industries.,19,CL
