Business scheme for shifting from existing networks to Trusted Green Networks

The future networks have yet to be defined. These are not represented by the next generation of the Internet and they need to satisfy requirements for the sustainability of mankind. These are called Trusted Green Networks (TGNs) in this paper. Although TGNs offer marvelous concepts and excellent functions, they will not always be widely deployed. There have been several initiatives to develop future networks. Their purpose is developing innovative technologies, but not including deployment schemes. We selected “sustainability”, “trust and security”, and “solving the digital divide by location” as concepts underlying TGNs and clarified their requirements. A business scheme is also proposed that boosts the shift from existing networks to TGNs. And the network layer model of TGNs is introduced.
