DescriptionWeb-RTC offers browser-based online meeting capabilities without any plugins, based on a set of upcoming IETF and W3C standards. Web-RTC has all the hallmarks of a distruptive technology. Predictions are by 2016 a billion endpoints will support Web-RTC delivering the typical functionality we now need separate clients for: high quality audio and video conferencing, document sharing, etc. With the web as a delivery mechanism unlocking this functionality with new services is going to be trivial compared to today's situation.
UNINETT is driving a systematic multi-year effort to get a coherent sector-wide and well-used real time communication infrastructure in place. We assume Web will play a significant part that infrastructure. During 2014 we investigate the technology, the market and (business)opportunities resulting in a WebRTC roadmap for the Norwegian HE&R sector which will drive and guide our future WebRTC efforts. This this talk will feature the preliminary results of our work. We expect to include thoughts on a roadmap for the Nordic service area and beyond. The talk will be preceded by a workshop planned on Monday 22 September.
The big promise of WebRTC is truly ubiquitous high quality communication capabilities at a far lower price point than we ever had before: video conferencing at your fingertips. We expect many new services to pop up. This is likely to change the real time communication landscape in many ways and the higher education & research sector needs to prepare for that. We need to know what to do and act in a coordinated systematic way once the market is developed enough. We need to ensure our community and its core business (research & education) reaps the benefits fully and in a timely fashion. If not globally than at least in the Nordics. Noblesse oblige.
