Re: [dtn-interest] 5G: It's the Network, Stupid

Hello Dirk -
(only added ICNRG, DTNWG and GAIA for relevance)

Thanks for this. Its an excellent article. I have some thoughts related to
GAIA but I will write about this latter. The 5G story is highly relevant to
GAIA..

In the meantime, I think our paper at the forthcoming ACM CCR on the role
of ICN and DTN to solve the problems associated with GAIA may be
interesting. The paper presents an integrated architecture and discusses
why such an architecture could be a potential problem solver..

Comments welcome.

Regards
