A perspective on responsible Internet innovation…
It’s about the eco-system, not just the technology
• Technology  Business models/markets  Policy must CO-EVOLVE
Policy challenge is COORDINATION (not market power)
• Decentralized, distributed: lots of good ideas from all levels/directions
• Open: entry of new ideas possible
• Interoperable: systems are mix-n-match bundles of stuff
• (Efficient: economizes on resources)
What is the (eco-system) Control Plane for the Internet?
• Smart’s everywhere (automated, unaware, connected)
• Mobile, wireless (hence MBWG and SpecWG…)

IoT: control plane for real/virtual convergence?
• How to innovate responsibly?
• Open (inclusive), Distributed (free choice), Interoperable, (Equitable)
• Lots of visions: how to get there from here…
• Architectures: where are the control points?
• Payments: Bitcoin and virtual currencies
• Cloud support: 5G, NFV
• Access: fixed/mobile convergence, interconnection

Spectrum Access System (SAS):
control plane for shared spectrum management
Today:
-- static, inflexible, uninformative
Tomorrow:
-- dynamic, flexible, informative
Tiered rights regimes
-- Licensed  Unlicensed is continuum
-- Need better co-existence than exclusion
-- lots tech/standards/infrastructure….
WHERE is the battleground?
-- e.g., 3.5, 5GHz, LTE-U, Incentive
