• In JRA1 we expect to see a future where the user don’t have to do anything
• nce the device is configured, in order to connect to the “Internet” .. “NET” or ?
• They don’t care who delivers the ZERO TOUCH service – they just expects it’s

there

• But how do we get to that “reality”
• How do we handle the entire mobility situation currently and emerging

• Seamless connectivity from whatever device to whatever ressource
• Transparent QoS configuration.
• QoE excellent – or we should know on forehand -> QoS discussion

Will the term ZERO TOUCH connectivity to the network be the way of the future? PANEL DISCUSSION

10 / 16

What about the underlying network from device to application….

• will that need to adapt and

control flows in a multi-domain environment? PANEL DISCUSSION

How can we secure a high level of quality of experience for the user no matter if the user is having a:

• mobile device
• fixed connected device
• big instrument
• data centre
• or something completely new

Can we maintain the current network boarders and domains? Or will the boarders become diffused from the user perspective….. forcing GÉANT, NREN and commercial service providers into cooperation in a federated manner? PANEL DISCUSSION

13 / 16

It looks like NREN’s need the cooperation with Service Providers…. BUT do they need the NREN’s in

• rder to provide the Zero Touch

Connectivity? Can NREN push anything relevant to the Service providers? PANEL DISCUSSION

City Hall of Kraków (one of the biggest city in Poland) - Next year the city of Krakow plans to start broadcasting Eduroam networks in urban wireless network – do you see any pitfalls for NRENs or is this one way to reach to a Zero Touch connectivity for “everyone” using the Eduroam technology concept?
