Several present bottlenecks constrict the future progress of the Internet: unwanted traffic, choking of the routing system, mobility and multi-homing, compensation and congestion, privacy and attribution, and trust and reputation. The core theme of the Future Internet (FI) programme is to remove the obstacles from the path towards a smooth and efficient platform that also offers an efficient and transparent market for new innovations and applications.
Main themes
The programme plan is based on the Future Internet Research Agenda. In the first phase, the Future Internet programme focuses on three main themes, namely the health of the Internet routing system, exploration of ways to improve the quality of end-to-end connectivity, and investigation of new ways of information storage and delivery.

Approach
The programme looks at solutions with a foreseeable deployment plan in next few years, as well as solutions that require more fundamental changes in the Internet architecture and can be seen as longer term research activities. The programme also applies different methodologies from theoretical analysis and simulation to concrete experimentations in realistic network environments. Further, the programme establishes a testbed that supports the programme researchers by providing basic services and operations for experimental investigation of different networking solutions.
Structure of the work: There are three work packages focusing on research, while WP4 is dealing with setting up a nation-wide testbed. WP5 focuses on dissemination. WP0 includes work on topics that are broder than a single WP, such as, security and trust, mobility, and energy-efficiency - this is highlighted as the area where the WPs meet.
International co-operation
The programme actively interacts with the international standardization bodies, such as the IETF, and research activities in EU and US aiming to make impact on world-wide Future Internet research and development process.
Impact
Ultimately, the impact of the programme will be visible as new business opportunities both for the incumbents and for new entrants to the Future Internet market. Especially the long-term vision of the programme entails a considerable restructuring of the roles of the various layers of the networking and application stacks, which will influence considerably the present market conditions and the positions of various players acting in it.
