[governance] Request for Information [ICT4 health/ E Health]

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro]

I ask this because the PSTN (legacy technology) has been replaced in some
parts of the world by NGN where the layers are reduced to Access, IP Core,
Control and Transport. With functions such as sms or Apps are built into the
NGN system, does this then become part of the internet or does it not?
