Abstract
Non-technical drivers are addressed, when moving from the R&D stage to the real deployment of the technical and architectural innovations, grouped as: usage and services, socio-economic aspects, and regulation. Non-technical requirements are established, listed as twelve guidelines, which will have implications on network design rules. Four different scenarios are defined and developed, covering major aspects of both technical and non-technical areas: “Looking back from 2020: What made the old Internet break?”, “Novel applications that are not possible with the current Internet”, “Managing the Future Internet”, and “Business models, value chains and new players”. Six main drivers and challenges are presented in a scenario of evolution “Elephant and Gazelle”, from the business environment viewpoint. Then, four different business use cases are addressed: Network Virtualisation, New Ways of Information Delivery, Internet of Things and Community-Oriented Applications.
