> SESSION ABSTRACT
> 
> In many areas, Internet connectivity is primarily via low-end mobile devices
> capable of only 2G or 3G connections to cellular networks. But many application
> developers live and work with much faster computing platforms and networking
> environments. Does the infrastructure need to change to accommodate the
> continuing use of these devices? Is this a transient condition of uneven
> development, or do we need to re-architect and re-design systems to better
> cope with connectivity diversity?
> 
> Key transports had assumptions built on wireline networks. The next billion users
> won't be on wireline networks, and even current users with access to both
> wireless and wireline networks use wireless networks more often. What does
> designing for the networks they *will* be on look like - whether at the transport
> layer or in the application, or at the interface between the two?
> 
> In this session during IETF 93, panelists will try to better understand the diversity
> of Internet connectivity and terminals, and discuss the challenges and responses
> to these modes of Internet connectivity including:
> 
> 	• How application developers are dealing with terminal and connectivity
> diversity
> 	• Considerations for protocol developers
> 	• How restricted connectivity impacts user behavior
> 	• Design principles that could be extrapolated from the data and the
> technical responses to date
> 	• How power management and connectivity management interact
