The document discusses next generation networks (NGN) and convergence. It defines NGN as a packet-based network that can provide telecommunication services using multiple broadband access technologies and QoS-enabled transport, with service functions independent from underlying transport technologies. NGN simplifies networks and uses an IP-based core with separation of transport and service layers. The document also discusses how convergence is occurring at the network, service, industry, and device levels, and how convergence and NGN allow services to be accessed seamlessly across different networks through multiple platforms.
