Overview of the Internet
The Internet is composed of three layers. A huge ecosystem of content and
service providers has emerged on top of them.

Internet : a widespread resource
 There will be 2.7 billion Internet users by the end of
2013. That is 39% of the world population.

The rise of the mobile Internet
 Mobile Internet accounted for 15% of all Internet traffic in
May 2013.
 That’s a 150% increase compared to 2012.
 The rhythm of growth of the mobile Internet is constant or
even increasing.

The mobile Internet is the domain
of mobile apps
 Internet users prefer apps for accessing the Internet on a
mobile.
 U.S. smartphone users spend about 25 hours per month
on mobile apps, and just 4 hours on mobile Web.
 Why ? Simply because apps are much easier and more
convenient to use than mobile Web sites.

Rejoice!
 The Internet is still an open space for technological innovation.
It is possible to freely introduce new application layers on the
Internet to meet the changing needs of users.

The problems with apps
for content publishers
 The development, distribution and maintenance of a
mobile app is a much more complex and costly
project than publishing a Web site.
Updating a Web site Updating a mobile app
Simply upload the new Web pages to
the server
Develop a new version of the app
(i.e.: software development)
Get approval from the "Store"
Invite users to download and install
the new app
Repeat all the above for each mobile
platform (device and OS)

Apps are also far from perfect
for end-users
 Users cannot install thousands of apps on their
device (storage limitation).
 Installing apps is time consuming.
 Heavy apps require high speed Internet connections,
not always available for users on the move.
 Risk of malwares
 Issue of access to personal data
10

Content publishers and users
cannot meet easily
 Most content publishers don’t have the time or money to create mobile apps.
 Neither can they maintain dozens of versions of mobile Web sites.
 Publishers of content on the Internet are increasingly isolated
from end-users.

The introduction of Frogans sites
on the Internet
 After 14 years of R&D, a new software layer is
about to appear on the Internet.
 Content publishers will be able to publish content
and services on a new type of sites, Frogans sites.
 End-users will be able to browse them by means of
specific software, Frogans Player, which will be
downloadable for free from the OP3FT.

Benefits of Frogans sites
for publishers
 The promise: a Frogans site can be developed only once and
still be rendered in exactly the same way, down to the pixel
level, on all devices, fixed and mobile, present and future.
 Validating the publication of a Frogans site will be quick: a
single test will be enough, on any device.

Benefits of Frogans sites
for end-users
 Frogans sites will be easy to browse: no additional learning needed.
 On a touch screen mobile device, a hand and a finger will be enough to
browse.
 Frogans sites will be accessible through specific, short identifiers:
Frogans addresses. These addresses can include non-latin characters.
 Unlike Web URLs, Frogans addresses include no character with a
technical meaning, except the asterisk “ * ” .
 The “ * ” characterizes a Frogans address, in the same way that the sign
“@” characterizes an E-mail address.
