On 29th September, The European Commission outlined the main steps that Europe has to take to respond to the next wave of the Information Revolution that will intensify in the coming years due to trends such as social networking, the decisive shift to on-line business services, nomadic services based on GPS and mobile TV and the growth of smart tags. A public consultation has been launched today by the Commission on the policy and private sector responses to these opportunities. You can get the Communication directly from here.
Web 3.0 is a term coined for seamless ‘anytime, anywhere’ business, entertainment and social networking over fast reliable and secure networks. It generally refers to potentially possibly and not necessarily practically feasible internet aspects (in respect to the internet backbone and access we have today). According to Commissioner Reading “It means the end of the divide between mobile and fixed lines. It signals a tenfold quantum leap in the scale of the digital universe by 2015. Europe has the know-how and the network capacity to lead this transformation. We must make sure that Web 3.0 is made and used in Europe.“
