Geneva, Switzerland, 17 October 2011

3. Some points I have captured – SDP capabilities and SDP coverage
Different business models and service platform types
SDP for general purpose versus for vertical markets
Global versus local SDPs, SDP components distribution (geographical, device vs network, others)
SDP and new technologies/paradigms: Cloud, CDN, IoT/M2M (different verticals), others ?
Enhanced capabilities and enablers for SDP (e.g. data awareness, dynamic capabilities (exposure/ negotiation/subscription, policy, resource allocation), flexible accounting/charging and related APIs)
Need of increased integration with Web and other domains (e.g. social networks)

4. Some points I have captured – collaboration among SDOs
There are various areas related to SDP where it would be beneficial to continue inter-SDO collaboration (e.g. SDP enablers)
There seems to be emerging areas related to SDP where it would be beneficial to launch collaboration among SDOs (e.g. CDN, Virtualization)
Which ways to increase synergy among SDOs ?
Other possible actions as follow up ?
