Concerns for VoLTE ► Interconnection (ITX) – It is imperative to standardize a technical model to be followed by operators for network integration and interconnection: • User and control plan protocols • Visited and home network models • QoS • Service transparency – GSMA is working in a set of recommendations that are being synthesized in IR.34 and IR.88. – And in Brasil? And in Latin America? ► Roaming – It is important to create business models in order to be consistent with financial and revenue sharing premises; – GSMA created an interconnection model called IPX (IP eXchange), GRX successor, for IP, VoIP and IMS interconnection services; – And in Brasil?

- 22. Conclusions ► Although MBB is consolidating and in will be the preferable Internet access, voice services still represents the most important part of revenue. ► LTE provides high throughput with low latency that is excellent for data services, but it represents 10 times more spectrum efficiency than GSM for voice transport. ► The operators are still intensively investing in network infrastructure and new band licenses in order to follow continuous market anxiety for more throughput. That enables other competitors beyond operator control from new Web Service industry. ► IMS is the most impressive and complete framework that allows operator to offer differentiated services, controlled by network, guarantying customer service experience and investment value protection. ► Besides, IMS will enable the VoIP over LTE technology, taking advantage of high spectrum efficiency, guarantying the user level experience and operator business premises. ► IMS does not only enable the multimedia services (such as VoLTE, MMTEL and ICS), but it is one of the most powerful tool for capturing opportunities and any service lifecycle stage (PCC): Rating and charging services for developing compelling and competitive revenue models. ► Interconnection and roaming technical and business model are pragmatic open issues that must be solved in next years.
