Date: Wed Mar 24
Place: CTIA Wireless at The Las Vegas Convention
Panel Debate: Policy, DPI & Net Neutrality: Heaven or Hell?
Moderator: Graham Finnie, Chief Analyst, Heavy Reading

For mobile network providers and vendors alike, the FCC’s proposed rule-making on network neutrality is the elephant in the room that cannot be ignored. In this session, panellists will debate its likely impact, assess what it means for the use of policy and DPI tools, and ask whether there is a way forward for network operators that enables them to turn the emerging new rules to their and their customers’ advantage.

Speaker: John Aalbers, CEO

Light Reading and its market research division, Heavy Reading, will host Policy Control, DPI & the Mobile Packet Core at CTIA Wireless 2010. Drawing on extensive research conducted by Heavy Reading on policy control, DPI, mobile broadband services, and the evolution of the mobile packet core, the conference sessions will examine the evolving role of policy tools including policy servers and PCRF-compliant policy decision points, policy enforcement points including DPI gear, and how it all fits together.

Policy control and management tools, including Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), have been widely deployed over the past 12 months, especially in mobile networks, but the use of these tools could both deepen and change as wireless operators start the transition to true all-IP networks. Architectures like 3GPP Evolved Packet Core imply a new role for policy and DPI tools that will place them right at the heart of the wireless network.
