Abstract
Future telecommunications networks, going beyond 5G, introduce numerous opportunities for new applications. Increased flexibility implies that new tools and techniques will be needed to take the most out of the networks, as otherwise we will simply create replicas of today’s networks, which potentially include the same bottlenecks. In this keynote, we discuss network topologies, application architectures, and adaptability options that eventually will help in building superior user experience in future telecommunication networks and their applications. This will pave the way towards the Internet of people where technology is simply an enabler for satisfying end-user needs, and technological underpinnings are selected such that they best serve these needs.
