1 Global Networks in the 21 st Century Scope, Scale and Science Keith Cambron President and CEO of AT&T Labs 1

2 Scope Today s global networks depend on a broad range of technologies, systems and service platforms. It is becoming increasingly difficult to provide a single vertical service. The combinations of technologies and systems provide more cost effective delivery and grant the freedom to create unique service offerings. 2
