The NGI open consultation is active on multiple themes, organised in Discussion Channels. Readers, contributors and experts can be engaged in various ways: By publishing new posts, commenting on existing posts, or by simply leaving a ‘like’. The Channels are by their nature dynamic and here below the most active ones are visualised. Go to the Channels Section to see them all.
The internet plays an increasing role in our daily lives, for work, education and leisure. The next generation internet will be even more pervasive but it should also become a more human internet.
The European next generation internet initiative is about taking a fresh look, with a broad perspective.
This perspective covers the networks and technologies powering the network and computing, the services and applications delivering user value, all the socio-economic innovation it enables and also the policies governing its use and evolution.
This is the space for an open and broad conversation with those people who are drivers of this next generation internet.
This dynamic and continuous process is supported by a European Champions Panel representing different stakeholders and sharing their views on NGI challenges and opportunities.
But it doesn’t stop here. The platform is complemented by an incremental Knowledge Base featuring quality content from multi-stakeholder, multi-disciplinary contributions to reflect Europe’s inclusive approach to the next generation internet.

Hi All, I thought it might be interesting to zoom in on what AI means for 5G networks and the challenges that need tackling to realise the benefits, other challenges and on-going work on standardisation. Inspiration for this post comes from Yue Wang, Samsung UK.
