   Abstract: The development of telecommunications services is affected by the changes in the telecommunications market and in service provisioning technologies. The market changes follow partly from the regulatory changes and the privatisation of the teleoperator industry and partly from the growth of new service providers in the mobile and Internet areas. This paper suggests that the current service creation architecture used by incumbent telecommunication operators may lose its significance in the future. Instead, new service architectures based on Internet and mobile service provisioning models will enter. We present forecasts of the Internet access and service market and evaluate the TCP/IP-based traffic in future networks. The growth of Internet-based services suggests a major change in future telecommunications service provisioning technologies. Furthermore, we present possible service platforms and service management environments available in future telecommunication service provisioning and conclude with some major technology discontinuities in service development.
