Article 30: When about to be overtaken, the drivers must immediately keep close to their right without speeding up. (...) Article 35: When two drivers enter an intersection by different roads, the driver coming from the left must give way to the other one. (...) In case of breakage, they must allow the driver to still clearly see the road. Article 86: The windscreen must be equipped with at least one windscreen wiper having a working surface and a frequency sufficient to enable the driver to clearly see the road from his seat.

Microsoft PowerPoint - Damascus_2_2_3.ppt 1 CONVERGENCE IN THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS WORLD Emmanuel Kakai Research & Development Telkom Kenya Regional Workshop for the Arab Region On Guidelines On the Smooth Transition of Existing Mobile Networks to IMT-2000 for Developing Countries Damascus, Syria, 13 - 15 June 2005 2 • Introduction • Drivers for Convergence • Types of Convergence • Network Architecture for future IT &Communication • Impediments to Convergence • Conclusions CONTENTS INTRODUCTION • In the telecommunications world, convergence means a moving towards the use of one medium. • The architecture selected for convergence must satisfy the business requirements before it meets the technical requirements • The architecture for collaboration must address the IT infrastructure, both what is already in place and what can be implemented in the future 3 DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE Many drivers but perhaps the most significant is a vision of the future • Lower Cost • Simplified Provisioning • Easier Management • Less Maintenance • Fewer User Interfaces DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE • More Rapid Provisioning • Improved Service • New Services • Simplification of user’s Life 4 DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE A brief review of each driver LOWER COST • If a new technology is to gain any recognition and market share, it must promise some savings- the more the better. DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE SIMPLIFIED PROVISIONING • Transport/Physical level - Allows a reduction in the number of cables to be laid • Switching level - Reduces the number of cable plants needed within a building • Application level - Only one medium e.g. the Internet is required to deliver content 5 DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE EASIER MANAGEMENT • Separate networks means that managers have to coordinate data from multiple sources to determine service quality • Combination of multiple systems and Networks simplifies management of telecommunications services DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE LESS MAINTENANCE • Reduction in the number of cable plants required means a reduction in the maintenance required • Easier upgrades as demand grows and as the need to provision new services arise 6 DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE FEWER USER INTERFACES • Use of a single cable plant with appropriate switching results into fewer separate user interfaces • Single type of of plug in the wall, which supplies raw bandwidth on demand • Reduction in costs for eqpmt manufacturers and savings passed on to consumers DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE MORE RAPID PROVISIONING • When existing cabling can carry new signals, provisioning is much faster • When existing cabling and switching can allow new services to be engineered and deployed without the need to add either cable or switching equipment, provisioning can be extremely fast 7 DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE IMPROVED SERVICE • Service quality improves when fewer components are involved in provisioning and maintenance DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE NEW SERVICES • Design, implementation and provisioning of new services is faster • Use of IP as the common switching technology allows new telephone services to be deployed easily in VoIP networks • As more switching intelligence resides in user eqpmt, need for fixed services reduces in favour of guarantees on packet delivery 8 DRIVERS FOR CONVERGENCE SIMPLIFICATION OF USER’S LIFE • New technologies are hard to sell unless users can perceive tangible benefits • Users do not respond to “Technological elegance”, but to concrete improvements and documentable savings. • Converged solutions have foundered in the past because telcom executives did not view things through from the user’s standpoint TYPES OF CONVERGENCE • TRANSPORT • SWITCHING • APPLICATION • TELECOMMUNICATION/IT 9 TYPES OF CONVERGENCE TYPES OF CONVERGENCE CONVERGENCE PYRAMID- Four levels: • :Network convergence(transport) - LAN, WAN, Wired and Wireless transmission • IT infrastructure-Servers,workstations, etc. • Applications - Web servers and other forms of Input/output devices • User Interface.

Stakeholders in the area of road safety realise that safety and sustainability in driver’s practise requires more than the capacity of keeping a vehicle on the road. (...) This European Directive prescribes obligatory training for professional drivers transporting goods or passengers by road. This directive aims to improve the quality of the services offered by drivers, to make the driver’s job more respected and more attractive, to increase road safety and to facilitate the free movement of workers.

  Translated from Russ

I. Blinov, an Embassy driver. Ambassador A. N. Sychev was in the vehicle, en route to an official meeting. The police officers, without giving any explanation, demanded to see the driving licence and vehicle registration and the accreditation documents of the driver and the ambassador. After a lengthy verification of the documents, lasting about 20 minutes, the police officers demanded that the Embassy driver take a blood alcohol test. (...) In the course of the verification the police officers behaved rudely, ignored the fact that the ambassador was in the vehicle, refused to show their identification documents, repeatedly demanded that the driver get out of the vehicle, threatening him with arrest and detention of the vehicle, and also showed a willingness to use physical force against the driver.
