The IEEE Communications magazine has started a new section entitled Topics in Design and Implementation. The idea is to make sure the magazine has more general practical articles alongside its specialist, technical papers.
In the first series in the September issue, an article by Rajiv Ramaswami of Cisco Systems looks at optical networking technologies over the last two decades and tackles the question which have been adopted and which not, and why.
The Economist published recently a special report of the future of telecoms that addresses the issue of convergence (which it defines in two words: information everywhere). One article asks the interesting question who will benefit most when the different carriers - incumbents, mobile, and cable operators - are all adopting convergence strategies.
Can you suggest an example of an insightful telecom question? NGN would like to compile a list of the best and get them answered.

I realise the entry may be somewhat cryptic. What I liked about the two articles cited is that they are based on asking an insightful question in the first place. In the first, not just looking at what optical technologies have been embraced and which not, but asking why. The second piece asks the question who will win given so many diverse entrants are focusing on convergence.
Im after other examples of such insightful telecom questions. Asking the right questions in the first place will lead to some interesting pieces.
