Panel Session 4a: Towards a Mobile-friendly Internet
Chair: Paulo De Sousa, European Commission, Belgium
This session discusses the increasing pressure to go beyond the Internet’s assumption of continuous connectivity and static attachment points, and to fully address and profit from the specifics of wireless transmissions. The speakers will focus on how the Future Internet should address the limitations of wireless and mobile networks (and vice-versa), and will present some ideas on solutions to overcome specific challenges.
