“This initiative by the European Commission, Directorate-General of Communications Networks, Content & Technology, takes a sweeping view of the current state of the Internet, its strengths but more importantly its weaknesses as we experience them today.

This report lays out in some detail the research and development work that needs to be done” – Vint Cerf, PCI Chairman.
