The new generation of broadband communication delivers on the
promise of ubiquity, constant connectivity, mobility, and stability. We see a balanced model that accommodates fully interactive,
peer-to-peer, real-time and non-real-time communication. Instant messaging and email "platforms" are emerging as environments every
bit as extensible and powerful as web sites. The concepts
of on-demand, "push," and personalization are re-emerging, but with different
implementations. We see continuous connectivity enabled by mobility
management and security applications; gateway opportunities that link,
control, and maintain multiple networks, applications, and clients; and
new delivery modes for content and online services.
