Abstract: In this position paper we state four requirements for a Future Internet and sketch our initial concept. The requirements: (1) more comfort, (2) integration of home networks, (3) service clouds in the network, and (4) access anywhere on any machine.
Future Internet needs future quality and future comfort. There need to be new possiblities for anyone.

Our focus is on higher layers and related to the many overlay proposals.  We consider them to run on top of a basic Future Internet core. A new user experience means to include all user devices. Home networks and services should be a fundamental part of the Future Internet.  Home networks extend access and allow interaction with the environment. Cloud Computing can provide resources beyond local boundaries. For access anywhere, we also need secure storage for data and profiles in the network, in particular for access with non-personal devices (Internet terminal, ticket machine, ...).
