ROADMAP for Communication Technologies, Services and Business Models 2010, 2015 and Beyond

In this report we present a potential vision of the development of the critical communication technologies and services on a several year timescale. The focus is in those technologies that have a strong potential to develop further and which may provide opportunities for new services or applications as well as fresh businesses chances. These technologies are also potential objects for challenging research work. The roadmap that we present in this report is based on the public roadmaps (listed in Appendix 2) and it also integrates the wide material, which the GIGA programme's thematic groups had gathered.
