THE CASE OF MOBILE BROADCASTING INTEGRATION

• specific information to one user (P2P) ? mobile
  com.
• unspecific information to all users in a given
  area ? broadcasting
• Large memories introduce paradigm shift
• live services are already becoming the
  exception
• mass storage dramatic cost reduction in receivers
  decouples consumption from production (c.f.
  TV-Anytime)
• filter store in user terminal
• local interactivity on stored content
• reaction by mobile communication (e.g. order a
  product)

RE-CONFIGURABLE RADIO NETWORKS

• Re-configurable processor architecture
  (adaptation, cost)
• Changing the base station and the terminals
  operating environment
• Download of features and applications to the
  terminal
• Terminals self reconfiguration to the available
  network (eg Hyperlan)
• Terminal roaming without worrying about the
  air-interface
• Turning the wireless device into a PC
• Major regulatory and spectrum implications
• The challenge of security (eg many security
  levels)
• Mobile operator
• Equipment manufacturer
• Applications and content provider
• Shareware provider

WTO Requirement of Technology neutrality

WIRELESS IN FP6 RTD AREAS

• Radio
• Hardware technologies
• Technologies for location-based services
• Access technologies, BAN to WAN

27
SATELLITES?

• Topics of direct relevance to Satcoms are
• Network Integration, notably broadcasting/mobile
  
• Support of ALL IP networks
• Reconfigurable terminals and networks
• Service portability across environments

28
SATELLITES, EC ESA Frameworks

• Satcoms and the European Strategy for Space
• Reinforce links with policies
• Regulation (Spectrum Decision) as a key building
  block of the strategy
• Reinforce EC/ESA links. Approach
• Satcoms in FP text, the legal basis
• Upcoming EC/ESA Communication the operating
  modes (IP, NoEs, ESA integral part of the
  implementation process )
• To come definition of the RTD topics.
• Depends on
• Outcome of ESA ministerial conference
• EC FP Rules on instruments

29
CONCLUSIONS

• IST a significant part of FP6
• New instruments evolving situation in EC/EP
• Wireless/Mobile in FP6 key challenges identified
  (WWRF)
• New instruments call for reinforced concertation
  and consultation with RTD players
• Critical mass critical size demonstrators and
  large scale testbeds will play an important role
  
• Links to policies and regulation are an important
  piece of the puzzle.
• Satellites are a natural component of the IST

30
