23. WWRF Vision Principles from User Perspective
Users are in control through intuitive interaction with applications, services and devices
Services and applications are personalised, ambient-aware, and adaptive (I-centric) and ubiquitous from the point of view of the user
Seamless services for users, groups of users, communities and machines (autonomously communicating devices) with an agreed quality of service irrespective of their location and network connectivity
Users, application developers, service and content providers, network operators and manufacturers can create new services and business models efficiently and flexibly
There is awareness of, and access to, appropriate levels of reliability, security and trustworthiness, in the wireless world

24. 7 trillion wireless devices serving 7 billion people by 2017
The WWRF Vision
7 trillion wireless devices serving 7 billion people by 2017
All people will be served with wireless devices
Affordable to purchase and operate
Calm computing: technology invisible to users
Machine to machine communications
Sensors and tags: e.g. in transport and weather systems, infrastructure, to provide ambient intelligence and context sensitivity
All devices are part of the (mobile) internet
