title: Freeband: the research program for ambient intelligent communication.
abstract: People today are surrounded by communication means. The last few decades have lead to an explosion of different means of communication. We are on the edge of a new 'paradigm change' which will move the centre of information control to the individual. He will become surrounded by "intelligent" electronic equipment that can provide almost all of their information and communication needs on demand: an ambient intelligent environment.
