Successes, Problems Broadband (innovation!) is on the agenda By the end of 2004: 100 organisations connected Hybrid solutions, scalable connectivity (no cherry
picking) New service providers enter the market Development of community nets: networked services Competition lowers prices Start of consumer services (wireless, fed by StadsRing) Anti-lobby from Incumbants KPN (nat. Operator): free Internet for schools Legal issues pending: State Support / false competition Dark Fibre not a regular service: specific marketing

Primary proces: front office, all customer contacts: mail/advertisement/ ordering/payment etc.
Secundary proces: internal automation: office apps, ERP, CRM, virtual private networks etc.
Tertiairy proces: contacts with suppliers, chain co-operation, shared services

Efficiency, Effectiveness, Economy
IT and business processes

Strategic issues Barriers: lack of infrastructure (unwilling
incumbents), lack of content services (incl. public services), costs of BB-services
Enhance investments: Business models: role of investors, deployment, regulations. Role of local governments.
Increase competition within supply chain: not on the carrier but on services
City Policies: very diverse, may include: budget for roll out, for staff, for services
Co-operation with the Region, ‘natural’ networks

Comments to Connecting Europe at High Speed
MIDband =not Broadband, Broadband should be the ambition, at least for (local) backbone
Funds for deprived areas if market fails (DOIT- edu/promo-infra), not only rural, also urban
Approach bb/data-infra as another utility (electricity, water)
Support procedures to replace obsolete technologies (unbundling local loops)
Support ‘clever digging’ Accelerate regulatory framework Accelerate common standardized, secured EU-
BBplatform for Public Services

SOME VISIONAIRS:
I think there is a world market for maybe 5computers. IBM Chairman Thomas Watson, 1943
If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside.Robert Cringely in InfoWorld
In a few minutes a computer can make a mistake so great that it would have taken many men many months to equal it. Anonymous
Ict-applicaties worden de zuurstof voor onze maatschappij.Prof. Dr. Ir. Nico Baken, 2002
Whoever makes the most mistakes, wins
Think Global, act Local
