Dear WP2/16 experts,
SG16 will meet just in two months. The Shenzhen meeting last month identified the following items, among others, that need further work. Your contributions are solicited.
General 1 - Possible new Question on "Advanced Multimedia System for Next Generation and Other Packet-Switched Networks"
- What are the business requirements that we need to consider as part of such an effort? - What functionality is missing in existing systems that prevent us from meeting those requirements? - Why is it important to consider development of a third-generation multimedia system? * Does cost and complexity of existing systems make it challenging to meet business requirements? * Is it difficult to mange and control systems and services due to the current designs? - What problems do we need to solve? - What innovative modes of communication would we like to enable that are simply impossible with existing systems?
General 2 - Questions for the next study period
