Next Generation Network (NGN) in India

Next Generation Network (NGN) is a packet-based network able to provide Telecommunication Services to users and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport technologies and in which service-related functions are independent of the underlying transport-related technologies. It enables unfettered access for users to networks and to competing service providers and services of their choice. It supports generalised mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users. Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) for the first time in India launched range of Next Generation Network (NGN) services such as video telephony, video surveillance and mobile advertising services.Voice over Internet Protocol will provide a long awaited video calling and video conferencing services to the people of India.
NGN Architecture: The NGN architecture as defined by the ITU and ETSI borrows heavily from the work done by 3GPP. The diagram below shows the architecture that has been defined for the NGN in ITU-T Rec. Y.2012. NGN architecture supports the delivery of multimedia services and content delivery services, including video streaming and broadcasting. An aim of the NGN is to serve as an PSTN and ISDN replacement. The NGN architecture defines a Network-Network Interface (NNI), User-Network Interface (UNI), and an Application Network Interface (ANI). The Transport stratum provides IP connectivity services to NGN users under the control of Transport control functions, including the Network Attachment Control Functions (NACF) and Resource and Admission Control Functions (RACF).
Advantages of NGN based Services:
1. One infrastructure is required.
2. One backbone for voice and data services instead of two parallel ones.
3. No maintenance of proprietary switching systems.
4. Fewer call controlling entities in the network so less capital and operating cost.
5. Easier configuration of equipment.
6. Fast advanced and new services deployment is possible.

Private sector CEO may be next CMD of BSNL, MTNL

The government’s hopes of roping in private sector professional managerial talent to revive the fortunes of state-run telcos BSNL and MTNL have been dashed. A panel set up under National Knowledge Commission head Sam Pitroda to appoint chairmen and managing directors (CMD) for both BSNL and MTNL considered at least three top executives from the private sector with experience in the IT and communications sector. But all of them are learnt to have turned down the offer.
Among those the panel was considering included Ravi Venkatesan, former chairman Microsoft (India), Arun Seth, chairman, British Telecom (India) and N Srinath, MD and CEO Tata Teleservices. The panel, which includes Infosys founder and now Unique Identification Authority of India Chairman Nandan Nilekani, has had to remain content with professionals from the public sector and the government.
Seth, Venkatesan and Srinath are learnt to have expressed reluctance at the idea. The panel was keen to infuse some fresh blood into the two government owned telecom companies that are slowly losing out to private companies. Pitroda, in his report on turning around BSNL and MTNL, had recommended hiring from the private sector.
“It is always necessary to be open to new ideas. Look at British Telecom. Till the 1980s, it used to be a nationalised company. Post privatisation, its share in the domestic market in United Kingdom may have shrunk, but the company has made inroads into many other countriesworld,” said an official close to the development.
But the private sector professionals fear that the “system” or in other words, the bureaucracy, union activities in the PSUs and political interference, will thwart any attempt at changing the organisation. One of the prospective private sector CEO, who did not wish to be quoted said, “It is the system and the processes that need to be redefined and changed. Merely changing people at the helm will not work.”
The other members in the panel are Cabinet Secretary KM Chandrasekhar and Principal Secretary in the Prime Minister’s Office TKA Nair. The government is now expected to finalise the appointments for CMDs to the two firms by the month end. The post of BSNL CMD has been vacant for over six months since August 2010. Its last full time CMD was Kuldeep Goel who retired in July last year. Currently, DoT Member (Services) has the additional charge of BSNL CMD.
Similarly, the post of MTNL chairman and managing director has been vacant since January last year when its CMD RSP Sinha resigned. At present, MTNL technical director Kuldip Singh holds additional charge of the post. The process for appointing CMDs for the two telcos has been long drawn. An earlier selection panel had also selected candidates, but the list was later scrapped.

Re-Constitution of National Council

As a result of 5^th membership verification of non-executive employees in BSNL, the National Council was re-constituted. This re-constitution of National Council is, however, subject to outcome of writ petition no: 35399/2010 filed by the NUBSNLW (FNTO) in the Honorable High Court of Kerala.

(Order no: BSNL/39-3/SR/2011                    Dated the, 11th April, 2011)
