[cc_full_width_col background_color="FFFFFF" shadow_color="888888" radius="6"]Working and conducting business, creating and sharing content, learning, gaming or shopping, networking or phoning friends across the continents: all these activities are moving online.

The Internet has revolutionised our social and business habits. It has evolved from a network of computers and information into a network of people. And change is far from over.

Already today, 1.5 billion people use the Internet. In a few years, once the Internet has become genuinely mobile, over 4 billion users and billions more devices and objects will be connected anywhere and anytime.

But before this can happen, the Internet must undergo important changes. Designed in the seventies, it is starting to face technical limitations which hamper its potential.
