Information and Communication
Technology is a critical and important component of the peoples’
lifestyle and is a fundamental enabler of the global economy. During the
past years the development of telecommunication systems and the rapid
growth of Internet has brought the idea that develops a framework
which enables people to access and exchange information freely, at any
time, from anywhere, and from any appliance.
For this vision to become a reality, network technologies, content, and
user accessibility must be developed in an integrated fashion. The
result of this converged approach could be the realization of
Tomorrow's Networks; this vision will encompass the creation of a
telecommunication infrastructure aimed at ensuring the ubiquitous access
to ICT services, maintaining at the same time quality of services along
with the necessary privacy and security capabilities as well as seamless
mobility.
Tomorrow's Networks will have a deep impact on the lifestyle of
millions of people and businesses around the world. Users will be
offered telecommunication services that transparently use the different
network infrastructures; this paradigm shift will bring a wave of
innovation, sharing the knowledge available and creating new businesses
that will drive cultural changes and growth of economies during the next
century.
