About the IPsphere Forum

The IPsphere Forum’s mission is to deliver an enhanced commercial framework - or business layer - for IP services that preserves the fundamental ubiquity of the Internet’s technical framework and is also capable of supporting a full range of business relationships so that participants have true flexibility in how they add value to upstream service outcomes.

The IPsphere Forum is an international leadership community comprised of members from key sectors of the telecommunications and IT industries. The Forum will set the priorities for, and oversee the progress of, working groups involved with the development and definition of new technologies that will enable IPspheres to be successfully architected and implemented.
