- W3C Web on TV Workshop: Use cases and requirements for smarter integration of Web technologies, broadcasting and non-PC devices
-
2 September 2010 - 3 September 2010 Tokyo, Japan
The IT industry is building the future Web platform at W3C. HTML5, CSS, SVG, and other open global standards for Web technology are starting to be deployed in browsers, and the Web community is enthusiastic about a host of new features such as location-based services. W3C has begun to organize a series of workshops to bring the television industry and other producers of consumer electronics into the discussion. Participants will have the opportunity to share their own perspectives, requirements, and ideas to ensure that emerging global standards meet their needs. The first workshop in the series takes place in Japan and emphasizes participation (in multiple languages) by companies from Japan, Korea, China, and other countries in Asia (though anybody may attend). The second workshop, in Europe, is likely to take place during the first quarter of 2011.

- Study SMART 2010/0033: The Socio-Economic Impact of Bandwidth
-
(Deadline: 05/09/2010) The objective of the study is to provide an assessment of the socio-economic impact of very high speed internet. By "very high speed internet" we mean internet services with at least 30 Mbps download speed. The study should make reference to all technologies capable of providing such speeds now or in the future. When calculating the socio-economic impact, the study should elaborate in detail the deployment and operational costs of networks as well as the benefits to the people, the businesses and the economy as a whole. Economic as well as social factors should be evaluated. The study should develop various scenarios on the future development of internet services and quantify the impact of higher bandwidth for each scenario. The study should provide forecasts until 2020 and cover the EU27+4 (including Norway, Iceland, Croatia and Turkey).
