Last week saw Net Futures 2016 in Brussels. http://netfutures2016.eu/ A good opportunity to hear people like Andrus Ansip - Vice-President & Commissioner for Digital Single Market, Günther Oettinger - Commissioner for Digital Economy & Society, Lise Fuhr - Director General of ETNO, Mats Granryd - GSMA Director General and so on; people you tend not to get all together in the same place that often. There are various videos available and I have been told slide-packs may be available soon. But I can recommend a look at the speeches given by the two Commissioners: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/2014-2019/ansip/announcements/speech-given-v... https://ec.europa.eu/commission/2014-2019/oettinger/announcements/keynote-sp... It was interesting how various ideas were presented. The current “consumer Internet” versus the future “industrial Internet”. The perceived need to move from "one size fits all" and "best effort", towards networks that can adapt to the different requirements of different vertical sectors, and that can deliver "guaranteed and ubiquitous quality of service”. The tying together of “things" with 5G. So a “thing” is something with one or more sim’s? And so it is somehow tied to mobile operator? And anyway 5G does almost everything? And so on. I could recommend going to Net Futures 2017! Gordon

Oh...I was hoping we where going away from vertical sectors, at last.

Sounds like "an interesting experience"... paf
Some years ago I was invited by EuroIX to try and explain what Brussels, the Commission, the EU did. My short answer was roughly three things: ** fund projects and studies. A big chunk of funding. And work which often also feeds back into how they see the world. ** make the rules. At its simplest the Commission proposes regulation and the Member States and Parliament adopt. ** do policy. Which means presenting, pushing, ideas in the wider world. Not to be underestimated! The two speeches give a good idea, if you read carefully, of how the Commission currently sees the "future Internet” - of what they will fund, the rules they will propose and of what they will support.
