Converged fixed and Wireless Communication Networks - Net!Works

Over the past decade, European industry has established a clear global industrial and technology leadership in the field of mobile communications. Moreover, there is a huge opportunity to add mobility to Internet accessibility, effectively allowing citizens to carry the power of the Internet with them anywhere at any time. However, the sector faces important challenges over the coming years to maintain its lead including increasing R&D investment in other regions, changing behaviour and expectations by users and poorly developed links between industrial policy and R&D.
