The ICT Mobile and Wireless Communications Summit (ICT-MobileSummit 2008) takes place in Stockholm, Sweden. This is the seventeenth in a series of Annual Conferences supported by the European Commission. It aims to share experiences and research results, identify future trends, discuss business opportunities and identify opportunities for international research collaboration under the ICT Theme of Framework Programme 7 (FP7). It will thus contribute to showcasing European research in the field, and position it within the multiplicity of related initiatives supported in other regions of the world.

In the context of convergence, the 17th ICT Mobile and Wireless Communications Summit will address the challenges of Future Ubiquitous Networks based on mobile and wireless communications, complemented with fixed infrastructures. The impact of such Future Networks on the underlying Internet infrastructure will in particular be emphasised in the 2008 Summit. Services and applications for billions of users involving trillions of interconnected potentially mobile devices will be addressed at the event. The Plenary on the third day of the ICT-MobileSummit will focus on the Future Internet.
