    1. Broadband Evolution and FP6 Mechanisms: Some TelCo thoughts David Kennedy kennedy@eurescom.de

    2. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 2 How to get to the Future ?

    3. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 3 The Draft Workprogramme Very high level - open to interpretation Some issues missing: e.g. Social Studies Many cross area issues: e.g. Personalised services are related to: Broadband Access, Multimodal Interfaces Networked audio-visual systems and home Platforms and that is just in the first call Need for virtual teams in the Commission

    4. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 4 Evolution of the IP concept 100 M Euro, Tens of M Euro, 30 M Euro? Strategic initiatives are being forced to split into smaller projects An IP must be a reasonable size if it is to mobilise the industry An IP must have a significant number of industry players working effectively

    5. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 5 and what about rejection? There could be too many IP proposals The cost of each IP proposal is very high The partner mix is very industry representative Unsuccessful proposals could damage the industry interest in research Who will judge the proposals ?

    6. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 6 Networks of Excellence Excellent training / competence development structure Could be a good mechanism for distributing TelCo experience Could be a great way to integrate the National Interests and Associated States Maybe each IP should have an NoE to give a greater academic dimension Dont be too elitist - there is a lot of basic competence that needs to be distributed - industrial as well as academic

    7. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 7 Targeted Research Projects Needed to compliment IP approach In many cases they could provide the roadmaps for several IP Necessary for niche subjects Necessary for smaller industry sectors Small projects focused on single result Should not be used to avoid contracting Integrated Projects

    8. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 8 The TelCo Position - the good... Collective Approach to Standards Development Investment in new devices with better user interfaces and attractive features Co-operation between major players in the industry Strong Brands Pan-European and/or global operators with consistency of approach and services Research, Development and Manufacturing Base Common competitive framework provided by EC across its member states

    9. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 9 The TelCo Position - the bad... Indebtedness Stock Market losses Regulatory Barriers Focus on technology in marketing new services Closed Application Platforms limiting variety of end user applications Uncertainties over next generation technologies

    10. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 10 The Industry Position - Ugly ! Major Job Losses in TelCos Major Job Losses in Manufacturers Many TelCos nearly bankrupt Many Suppliers dismantling production facilities Banks will not give loans to the industry Shareholders have lost lots of money but were all still making phone calls !!!!

    11. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 11 Why are TelCos excited by FP6? R&D has been postponed too long Through participation they can: help the growth of the telecommunications market find economical strategies for network evolution promote service evolution to keep pace with network evolution benefit from early exploitation of results The Industry needs a kick-start

    12. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 12 Kick-Start conundrum Pervasive infrastructure enables mass market services Mass market services justify pervasive infrastructure

    13. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 13 Where are the killer applications? All around you Examine todays business processes and see which ones could be done better, i.e. more efficiently, in a connected world Remember Amazon is just a bookshop And E-bay is just an auction house But they are convenient (and fun !!!!) Dont start looking with the idea it has to be new - build a better mouse trap !!

    14. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 14 The Invasion of smart devices

    15. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 15 The Next Generation Users

    16. Some TelCo thoughts on FP6 mechanisms 16 Conclusions Broadband will happen !!! New competing technologies will come Learn them! - Adopt them - Those who do will stay in the forefront TelCos will be present in several places in the value chain TelCos will run many partnership-programmes (and invest venture capital) Licence deals to make money on a competitors success will be common
