Common policies and procedures for data curation and preservation.
Recommendations on Mobile Services Prepare for rapid increase in the demand for mobile connectivity (BYOD) Work with Commercial providers to explore innovative solutions for the integration of Wi-Fi and LTE Make use of mobile device sensors for innovative location dependent federated access to learning resources.
Recommendations on Future Roles for NRENs Strategic body for R&E networking & single vision NRENs need diversified and sustainable models Strategic business planning and understanding of their user-base TERENA to develop a European user-requirements compendium NRENs should partner with commercial providers not compete.
General Points • Do NRENs really know their customers? • Getting to the end-user is really hard! • Should NRENs focus on high-level service integration? • Brokerage (Business-to-Business) role • Forget about fixed line except for Class C users • NRENs should partner with users and suppliers? • Do rules, CPs, AUPs etc. . . . hinder progress • Lack of Agility in serving users • Particularly at the pan-European level
