    • History

  • In 2004, PUCC (P2P Universal Computing Consortium) was founded in Tokyo . The founding members were NTT DoCoMO, Ericsson, Kyoto University, and Keio University.
  • April 2005: The Working Groups were started. started standardization work on an open overlay network in the area of several applications,as well as core communication protocols and metadata.
  • July 2006: First government supported R&D was started. R&D work on harmonization of mobile network, home network, imaging devices was conducted using government funds.
  • March 2007: First PUCC specifications were published.
  • June 2007: PUCC joined the Healthy Living project, as a part of the Information Grand Voyage Project, supported by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry).
  • November 2008: PUCC continuously supports the Information Grad Voyage Project. PUCC open overlay network is used as a platform to gather information and NON-IP networks and devices such as sensor networks, USB, Bluetooth.
