Dear nettime,

here's a cross-posting from RIPE "cooperation-working group";
https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/coop

I will merge two posts from Gordon Lennox that I find relevant.

If replying, please cc Gordon, he is not subscribed to nettime.

Explanation / intro: 
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/cooperation-wg/2016-April/000850.html

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.

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, G?nther 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/oettinger/announcements/keynote-speech-closing-plenary-session-net-futures-2016-brussels_en

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!
