| Project number and title | Responsibilities | Abstract |
| P901 Extended investment analysis of telecommunications operator strategies |
Project Leader: Leif Ims, NT Project Supervisor : |
The work focuses on evaluation of telecommunication investment projects related with establishing new service platforms, such as IP-based fixed or wireless multimedia networks, or fixed mobile convergence. The Project concentrates on quantitative analyses, relying on the establishment and use of a common assessment framework, including common models for costing, market assessment, competitor behaviour and external effects, and risk analysis. |
| P902 Sustainability and social impacts of ICT on Schools, homes and the community |
Project Leader: (Chris Fowler, BT) Michael Gardner, BT (since 09/00) Project Supervisor : |
The project serves to understand and model current "Learning Relationships" taking place within the home, and to evaluate and make recommendations for future ICT Community Learning Services. |
| P903 Cross-cultural attitude to ICT in everyday (working) life |
Project Leader: Enid Mante-Meijer, NL Project Supervisor : |
The project aims at providing a deeper understanding of the processes that shape the ways in which users respond to current and new ICTs and the manner and degree to which they incorporate them into their routines and practices and to develop a quantitative instrument which allows cross-cultural and cross-national examination of reactions to ICTs and to make predictions about trends affecting the future use of new ICTs. |
| P904 The impacts of telework on a sustainable social development and quality of life |
Project Leader: Sigmund Akselsen, NT Project Supervisor : |
An analysis of the impact of telework on individuals, their families and their companies is performed. A group of teleworkers has been selected in several countries and they are being interviewed to know how telework affects their life and the family life (positively or negatively) and their professional career. The output are general recommendations about deployment of telework and more precise results for EURESCOM Shareholders about how to market these services and to whom. |
| P942 Assessment of potential techniques for controlling access to European Research and Educational Networks |
Project Leader: Henri Barral, FT Project Supervisor : |
This Study identifies the issues, requirements and potential solutions for the interconnection of European Research and Educational Networks. The results are mainly being used by ETNO when forming a common position on the subject. The US initiative Internet2 uses the "GigaPOPs", solving a similar problem. However, in Europe the border between Industry and Academia is not as clear as in USA, so our requirements may be different. |
| P943 Assessment of the Future Evolution of Telecommunication Services Billing and Charging Methods 23-24 Sept 1999 |
Project Leader: Jari Oja, AF Project Supervisor : |
It can be foreseen that in the future no direct link between numbers and charges will exist for the users. Although the numbers will give no indication about the appropriate charges, users will still demand this information. What are the alternative methods for presenting charging information to users and what are the critical implementation issues related to these? The main customer of this Study is the ETNO working group on numbering issues. |
| P944 Impact of PKI on the European Telecommunication Business |
Project Leader: Antti Siltanen, AF Project Supervisor : |
The explosive growth of electronic commerce on the Internet calls for much higher security and trust for business transactions. The most promising approach to establish a trusted environment for business applications is a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). A European-wide PKI model and common certification policies for telecommunication applications are essential to support application services such as electronic commerce. What is the impact of PKI services used or offered by the operators? What are the requirements on a European-wide test pilot for a fully functional PKI environment? |
| P945 Always On - Being Continuously Present with the Customer |
Project Leader: Geoff Richman, BT Project Supervisor : |
The Strategic Study project clarifies the idea of ‘Always On’ and similar concepts with reference to available and foreseeable network technologies. It identifies how these concepts might affect the approach we take to building networks and offer future services, looks at the potential of the ‘Always On’ concept to provide the TelCos with a continuous presence or relationship with the customer. By means of SWOT analysis it classifies what market opportunities these concepts may provide for TelCos, and to what extent these concepts may represent unexpected market developments by competitors, paradigm shifts, regularity events, etc. |
| P946 When Things Start to Think |
Project Leader: Arne Munch-Ellingsen, NT Project Supervisor : |
As processors become ever cheaper they are being used in almost every device. Similarly communications capabilities are being added to more and more devices. This has created a scenario where some form of public or private network will be needed to support these communicating devices and allow for the possibility that there will be a huge increase in machine to machine communication. It is important to understand this smart Devices trend and anticipate the commercial opportunities that will arise for TelCos |
| P947 Impacts of Information Overload |
Project Leader: Per Helmersen, NT Project Supervisor : |
With the invention of the WWW and continuing introduction of new ICT services individuals are exposed to an ever increasing amount of information both in the their everyday life and business activity. The information processing speed of the individuals does not keep up with this fast evolution, so the question arises "How do we protect ourselves from information overload?" Both individual techniques to manage this vast amount of information and tools that support the sorting and prioritisation of the information as well as extraction of knowledge will be studied. The focus of the Study is on information overload in professional life. |
| P948 Portals as channels to the virtual world |
Project Leader: Annakaisa Häyrynen, AF Project Supervisor : |
The concept of Portals is becoming very important for the TelCo business in the converged virtual information society. The Strategic Study addresses important questions arising from the Portal concept such as "What is the strategic role of Portals and how will they evolve in the next five years?" and "While taking the future evolution within the field into account, how should a portal service be designed, set up, and operated?" |
