        abstract = {In a future IoT-dominated environment the majority of
data will be produced at the edge, which may be moved
to the network core. We argue that this reverses today's
"core-to-edge" data flow to an "edge-to-core" model
and puts severe stress on edge access/cellular links. In
this paper, we propose a data-centric communication approach
which treats storage and wire the same as far as
their ability to supply the requested data is concerned.
Given that storage is cheaper to provide and scales better
than wires, we argue for enhancing network connectivity
with local storage services (e.g., in WiFi Access Points,
or similar) at the edge of the network. Such local storage
services can be used to buffer IoT and user-generated
data at the edge, prior to data-cloud synchronization.},
