Visions of the NII : Ten Scenarios
Overview This White Paper illustrates some uses of tomorrow's NII, and outlines the underlying technologies which must work together to make them possible. The ways in which we use and receive information and communications today contain the seeds of the future NII -- but only the seeds. Today's applications of information technology are not representative of the closely coordinated bandwidth, response time, user convenience, privacy, security, and interoperability that will characterize future communications networks and information resources. They do not demand the use of software to find and filter information and help the user browse and navigate vast information resources. They do not presume much voice interaction between people and their intelligent machines and communications networks, or translation services among natural languages. Except for wireless telephony, they do not accommodate the mobility of people, terminals, and services -- a characteristic that would enhance many applications.
