FP7 ICT Work Programme Challenge 1:
Pervasive and Trusted Network and Service Infrastructures

With its strengths in communication equipment, devices, networks and eServices, Europe is well placed in the world-wide race to define and develop the network and service infrastructures of the future. These will generate significant economic opportunities with new classes of networked applications, whilst reducing operational and capital expenditures. The current internet, mobile, fixed and broadcasting networks and the related software service infrastructure will melt into one interwoven fabric of networks and service technologies in order to enable another wave of economic growth, access to knowledge and to meet citizens demands.
