The operation and administration of a telecommunications network should include the consideration of subscriber demands for new services which may have different characteristics than the traditional traffic (i.e. peak busy hours, bandwidth requirements, and average call durations may be different). By addressing these new demands, Administrations can be more responsive to customer requirements for innovative telecommunications services. Based on the type of service and estimated demand for a service, network facilities and capacity may have to be augmented. An augmentation of the network could require large capital investments and additional functions and responsibilities.
