    What?s an ISP to do Assuring Long-term Success with Enhanced Services

    Internet access pricing is spiraling down, and the rates have not bottomed out yet. At the same time, ISPs need to continue investing in new technology to keep their equipment top of the line. This ensures happy customers, thus reducing the much dreaded but always looming churn factor. Caught between a rock and a hard spot, ISPs need to look at alternatives that increase their subscriber base and generate revenues. Value added services might prove to be just as lucrative to ISPs as they became to traditional telcos when the voice market had reached maturity. Especially when there is a low adoption threshold with services that resemble current usage models. Surveys indicate Internet subscribers are more than willing to pay additional monthly fees for enhanced services. In addition, innovative electronic commerce technology allows ISPs to improve support processes and generate Web hosting revenues. We?ll take a look at how technology can effectively attract and retain online customers, and how new services can be easily integrated into your existing infrastructure.

    This presentation addresses:

    How ISPs can capitalize on converging technology to increase customer acquisition and retention.

    The competitive advantage for ISPs when offering real-time Internet communication technology.

    VPN -- Overview and the future for bandwidth growth
    VPN applications are increasing
  • Estimated to be an $18 billion market next year.
  • Virtual private network (VPN) hardware capacity is increasing
    • Up to 300 Mbps of triple DES encryption for a single IP


    As the use of desktop applications including voice over IP, fax over IP, and video conferencing via VPN increase in popularity, the demand for low latency bandwidth will grow dramatically High speed low latency networks deliver real-time VPN services from the corporate enterprise to branch offices at wire speed. VPNs are used to connect to outsourced Oracle, SQL, SAP, and PeopleSoft applications servers to your corporate and branch LANs and telecommuter employees.

    New VPN architecture is scalable, including automatic fail-over equipment, providing extremely high availability. As the hardware is scalable and features automatic failover, clients do not have to reinvest in new equipment as their bandwidth and security needs grow, or when they need to upgrade hardware or software. Provisioning firewalls and encryption devices, managing the firewalls and encryption devices, and responding to attacks is becoming easier.

    The tangible return on investment for high-speed VPNs includes reduced telco costs between corporate offices, as well reduced costs for internal and external information dissemination. Savings of 20% to 40% over private leased line networks is typical. The intangible return on investment for VPNs includes increased employee productivity and improved customer-client-supplier communications. The encryption equipment is IPSec and IOS compatible, insuring interoperability between manufacturers.

    Universal Messaging - the seamless integration of voice
    Universal Messaging - the seamless integration of voice, fax, pager, and email messaging - is about to usher in the next revolutionary convergence in communications technology changing the fundamental ways in which we communicate. This long-envisioned goal has finally become both technologically and economically viable thanks to two essential factors:

    * The rise of the Internet. The modular, IP-based architecture provides a flexible, cost-effective mass-communication infrastructure.

    * The emergence of the service provider industry. Service providers offering Internet access to large populations now have the infrastructure, expertise, and economies of scale to offer universal messaging solutions that are reliable, affordable, valuable and extend the reach of any business beyond its internal network to the entire world, creating viable alternatives to traditional switched networks . To support these enhanced service offers, however, a true carrier-scale messaging infrastructure is essential. Scalability to support millions of users, 24 x 7 availability, failsafe reliability, and guaranteed fast performance even during peak loading are all requirements without which a universal messaging solution is unattainable.

    The accelerating shift in communications from the traditional voice network to the data network will result in breakthrough levels of feasibility and cost-effectiveness for universal messaging. And enable service providers to generate more revenue, increase customer loyalty and reduce churn.

    What the audience will learn:

    • How all service providers are poised to profit from this shift.
    • An in-depth look at the necessary IP-based messaging services, such as IP voicemail, IP fax, etc.
    • About sample universal messaging services

    iDNS a DNS system with multilingual support
    The Internet Is Based On Ip Technology. Packets Are Routed Using Ip Address Which Is In Numerical Form, For Example 137.132.19.110. While This Is Useful For Routing Purposes, It Is Difficult To Remember. Thus, We Have A Domain Name System Or Dns Which Translate Domain Names, Eg Www.Nus.Edu.Sg To Ip Addresses And Vice Versa.

    Nevertheless, The Current Dns Only Allows A Very Limited Set Of Characters.  While This Is Not A Problem For Most English Speaking Countries, This Is Not So For Many Countries In The Asia Pacific Region Where Its Own National Language Is More Widely Used.

    Thus, With The Internationalisation Of The Internet, And The Proliferation Of Non-English Content, There Is A Growing Need For A Dns System Which Is Able To Handle Multilingual And Multiscript Features.

    The Idns Aims To Address This Issue By

    A. Providing A Mechanism For The Dns System To Adopt Multilingual Character
    Set Thus Allowing Non-English Language Domain Names.

    B. Retains Compatibility With The Current Dns Standards.

    C. Transparently Convert Different Kind Of Language Encoding To A Universal
    Adopted Encoding, Unicode.

    D. Minimum Changes On The Client/Server

  • Easy Installation For The System Administrator
  • Allowing End-Users To Immediately Use Multilingual Domain Names

    iDNS iDomain and iNames
    At current, internet users are using two ways for connecting WWW sites, which are using IP address and DNS. Because of limitation for recognition of IP address, the DNS(Domain Name System) is used for IP address. DNS is operated on 7 bits systems, and it consists of alphabet, special characters, and numbers. And its the organization types are distinguished by the Dot. Recently the domain processing contains several legal problems, and its complexity causes people in non English speaking country to have difficulty in using Internet..

    Internet Connection Systems intends to provide the convenience for connecting WWW sites, especially for the first step users. It supports both 7bits and 8bits systems and can be applied WWW, telnet, ftp,gopher, and ping protocol.

    The contents of the internet connection systems for DNS are:

    1) Application program for Clients

    1.1) IBI Web@ : Add-on program for Clients.

  • Provides a connecting service to internet with a realname
  • 1.2) IBI Browser : Can be used a real name on browser.

    2) rDNS server

  • The DNS server be architected for processing of 7bits and 8bits systems
  • 3) rD/B

  • The database is created from matching domain and address. It will be a fundamental resource for providing DNS service.
  • 4) Search Engine

    • The search engine can be searched rD/B
    Internet Connection Systems would be covered all applications related DNS. And we will try to build a Global DB network with other 7bits systems.

    One Size Fits All vs. Mass Customization: The Evolution of Pricing for Internet Services
    The traditional business model of Internet Service Providers is "one size fits all": one flat monthly rate for unlimited Web access, e-mail, chat, etc. for consumers or business customers. Traffic has been carried on a "best efforts" basis, without regard to customers' requirements ability to pay. As a result, service quality (and profits) across ISP's can be similarly mediocre.

    However, ISP's are now moving aggressively to offer differentiated services and enhanced services.to gain high value customers, increase revenues and reduce churn. This talk will review some of these enhanced services, and their associated technologies and pricing strategies.
