This document outlines key questions related to designing a Telco 2.0 platform, mapping each question to a specific telecommunications asset and its network protocol. The questions cover identifying users and their locations, communication methods, payment capabilities, and contacts, with protocols including SS7, Diameter, SIP, XMPP, and proprietary IM. The platform is designed to be compatible with different core network architectures like SS7, SIP hybrid and IMS networks.

1. Designing the Telco 2.0 Platform Who are you? SS-7, DIAMETER HLR, BSS Where are you? SS-7, IP, RADIUS HLR How are you? XMPP, SIP, Proprietary IM Presence & Availability Server Can you pay? DIAMETER BSS-OSS How can we reach you? SS-7, SIP CSCF, Softswitch Who do you know? DIAMETER BSS-OSS Any questions? XML, Web Services Call Centre Workflow Each key question maps to a specific telco asset and its corresponding network protocol Note that the platform is NOT aligned with any particular core network design; we’ve included the appropriate protocols for SS-7 Hybrid, IETF SIP, and IMS networks.
