Mobile and the Interplanetary Internet (Bundle Protocol on Earth and beyond) 

We will look at current statistics of the Internet and then consider the wide range of applications that are emerging and some very significant changes coming to the Internet in the next couple of years. We will also consider new business practices that are arising from the spread of Internet and the key role that mobiles are playing in its accessibility. There is a trend towards including sensor networks on the Internet and many devices/appliances. From this we can see an kind of smart electrical grid of "intelligent and networked"
devices emerging. Collaborative tools are also of increasing interest, including automatic language translation. Finally, we will have a serious look at the extension of the Internet to operate across the solar system to support manned and robotic exploration.
