FI-WARE ExploitationMarket Analysis, Exploitation Plan, IPR Management and Market and Policy Awareness

11.1 Market and Competition Analysis

• New overall vision has been produced› Operators are not the only objective,

› Even if we still think they will be key in selling the overall products

› We introduce the fact that most hi-tech industries have become platform battlegrounds, where convergence between IT, internet, telecommunications and media services and technologies occurs .

› However, companies are planning to sell different element independently

› We are open to other actors.

• New data and input from Platform Strategy Market Analysis included.

• Convergence HW-SW.

› We agree there is a clear convergence on this area but this goes beyond FI-WARE philosophy

› FI-WARE wants to be hardware agnostic

• Hardware is available but we are open to new implementations.  We would like to expand to the future, particularly to  new protocols such as html5

Response to comments

11.2 Exploitation Plan including IPR Management

Answers to commercial questions individually by industrial partners

• Identify the key segments, “ identify where FI-WARE is particularly useful - FI-WARE “Two sided market”- End Users and Developers

• Identify the main channels will be used to reach the various customer segments (Developers and End Users) and the marketing tools should be designed to be usable by the internal sales force.

• Identify the strategy to ecosystem management and attract as much developers as we can (Starting the Definition of the objectives for the planned Open Innovation Lab)

• Analysis and Refinement of the existing FI-WARE Legal Notice that fulfills the needs of the three involved partners

• Include the Terms and Conditions of the usage of the FI-WARE Contributions within the WIKI documentation

Commercialization

Marketing plan

Define Key IPR Principles

Involving our marketing units (Seville). It will be accelerated when they see the results of the test.

Include the FI WARE Platform Strategy based on the previous Platform Strategy Market analysis

• The objective is validate a common Platform Strategy as a whole and not as a loose collation of GEs

• Agree on the value proposition

11.3 Market and Policy Awareness

• Include inputs from Platform Strategy Market Analysis regarding regulation of platforms

• Analysis relative to the prospective requirement specific to the developments of the future of the Internet, bearing in mind the project vision and dynamic market conditions on the other, which (may) pose regulatory challenges

• Cities are being contacted- additional contacts with European cities to wide geographic extension, and intensification for concrete (multi-)localised achievements.

• Support from business associations

• Open innovation initial definition

• Events are being organized

• Planning Hackaton

• Events of different cities

FIWARE Platform Potential

1) Performs at least one essential function within the system• FI-WARE is an open, royalty-free platform -> general interoperability

• IoT Communication function in FI-WARE allows unified communications

2) Easy to connect to or to build-upon• Easily aggregate services and applications,

• A single set of APIs

• An approach of comprehensive service description and annotation language (USDL)

3) Difficult to substitute• FI-WARE Open Specifications do not prescribe more than what is strictly required.

• FI-WARE GEs can be picked and plugged together

• FI-WARE Instance Provider role may decide to develop and/or integrate their own set of monitoring/mgt tools

FI-WARE satisfies criteria for a successful platformAt the end of the day it will be these business

arguments that determine whether 3rd parties will accept the FI-WARE infrastructure.

A Two Sided Business Ecosystem

•For a software vendor, free access to the platform to develop and test and application,

Subsidize the

creators of value

•Certain large consumer groups (Smart Cities) bring with them other large user groups, they add critical value. For end-user clients to pay for access to this application (per user, per volume-based access…).

Cater to marquee

users

The classic difficulty for building a platform is the chicken-and-egg launch problem. Each side wants the other side to commit before it will spend resources to adopt the platform. This is a "critical mass" problem

Implementation rules for pricing to solve the “critical mass problem”

FI-WARE Strategy Definition

Technical Platform

• Interoperable architecture

• Unified Service Description Language (USDL)

• The ability to combine offerings from different FI-WARE Instance Providers

Business Platform

• Royalty-free, open and standardized access points

• Freedom to (re-) implement anywhere

• Very permissive Open Source licenses for reference software

Ecosystem Management

• Testbed and Open Innovation Lab

• Sustainable business models around FI-WARE Instances

• Revenue sharing

• Share risks with complementors

For being successful, the technological and the business sides must be tackled simultaneously.

concept GE RIs

Proposal on how to publish terms and conditions of use of FI-WARE GE RIsA new tab named as “Use Terms and Conditions” will be added to each entry in the FI-

WARE Catalogue which will be structured in three major sections:

• Use Terms and Conditions for experimentation within the FI-PPP program

› Standard text derived from the Collaboration Agreement

• Open Innovation Lab

› Standard text that refers to “Open Innovation Lab: Use Terms and Conditions” agreement/contract that will be subscribed by third parties who will develop experimental applications to test/experiment under the umbrella of FI-WARE Open Innovation Lab activities

• External availability

› Text to be provided by each FI-WARE GE owner (some example texts provided in complementary .docx file)

› Distinguishes between use terms and conditions applying to downloadable software (binaries or open source) and to “as a Service” models, may also consider other commercial models

Distinction between “Experimental Instances” and “External Instances” will be made within the “Instances” tab

The "downloads" Tab should provide the means by which copies of the software (binaries or open source) can be obtained, provided that the Use Terms and conditions established for downloadable software are met.

Main Regulatory Concerns

Traditional regulatory analysis is not equipped to deal with platforms

pricing and cross-subsidization strategies

bundling strategies

collaboration

New European interoperability rules foreseen for the electronic communications industry, based on antitrust rules related to the abuse of market position,

In this case, obligations will be imposed related to license interoperability information, to ensure consumer choice in software as well as hardware.

Additional regulatory challenges poses by each chapter to work on them

Online Identity, including anonymity, digital presence, rights to delete information, etc.

Cloud computing, including the risks and benefits of virtual access to information, etc.

Content regulation, including copyright, licenses, open access, etc

Internet of things, and the connections between people and devices

Net Neutrality

Relationships between consumers and suppliers online

Cybercrime and Cyberlaw, including phishing, cracking, cyberterrorism, etc

A thorough investigation of potential risks can be recommended as a consequence of multisidedness of markets,

Facebook is offering a very good product. It also has facilitated development of complementary applications by sharing with developers a special language based on HTML

Zuckerberg announced that independent developers can sell advertisements or incorporate tools for conducting online transactions and keep all the resulting revenue. By doing so, Facebook appears to be proactively trying to provide or at least protect business incentives for potential complementors.
