+% Structuring a talk is a difficult task and the following structure
+% may not be suitable. Here are some rules that apply for this
+% solution: 
+
+% - Exactly two or three sections (other than the summary).
+% - At *most* three subsections per section.
+% - Talk about 30s to 2min per frame. So there should be between about
+%   15 and 30 frames, all told.
+
+% - A conference audience is likely to know very little of what you
+%   are going to talk about. So *simplify*!
+% - In a 20min talk, getting the main ideas across is hard
+%   enough. Leave out details, even if it means being less precise than
+%   you think necessary.
+% - If you omit details that are vital to the proof/implementation,
+%   just say so once. Everybody will be happy with that.

+\section{Researching communications systems}
+
+\subsection{The Rolle of FOSS}
+
+\begin{frame}{Research in TCP/IP/Ethernet}
+Assume you want to do some research in the TCP/IP/Ethernet
+communications area,
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item you use off-the-shelf hardware (x86, Ethernet card)
+	\item you start with the Linux / *BSD stack
+	\item you add the instrumentation you need
+	\item you make your proposed modifications
+	\item you do some testing
+	\item you write your paper and publish the results
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{Research in (mobile) communications}
+Assume it is before 2009 (before Osmocom) and you want to do some research in mobile comms
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item there is no FOSS implementation of any of the protocols or
+		functional entities
+	\item almost no university has a test lab with the required
+		equipment.  And if they do, it is black boxes that you
+		cannot modify according to your research requirements
+	\item you turn away at that point, or you cannot work on really
+		exciting stuff
+	\item only chance is to partner with commercial company, who
+		puts you under NDAs and who wants to profit from your
+		research
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{GSM/3G vs. Internet}
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Observation
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item Both GSM/3G and TCP/IP protocol specs are publicly available
+		\item The Internet protocol stack (Ethernet/Wifi/TCP/IP) receives lots of scrutiny
+		\item GSM networks are as widely deployed as the Internet
+		\item Yet, GSM/3G protocols receive no such scrutiny!
+	\end{itemize}
+	\item There are reasons for that:
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item GSM industry is extremely closed (and closed-minded)
+		\item Only about 4 closed-source protocol stack implementations
+		\item GSM chipset makers never release any hardware documentation
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}{GSM is more than phone calls}
+Listening to phone calls is boring...
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication
+	\begin{itemize}
+		\item BMW can unlock/open your car via GSM
+		\item Alarm systems often report via GSM
+		\item Smart Metering (Utility companies)
+		\item GSM-R / European Train Control System
+		\item Vending machines report that their cash box is full
+		\item Control if wind-mills supply power into the grid
+		\item Transaction numbers for electronic banking
+	\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
