  Mobile devices are often presented with multiple connectivity options usually
making a selection either randomly or based on load/wireless conditions
metrics, as is the case of current offloading schemes. In this paper we claim
that link-layer connectivity can be associated with information-availability
and in this respect connectivity decisions should be information-aware. This
constitutes a next step for the Information-Centric Networking paradigm,
realizing the concept of Information-Centric Connectivity (ICCON). We elaborate
on different types of information availability and connectivity decisions in
the context of ICCON, present specific use cases and discuss emerging
opportunities, challenges and technical approaches. We illustrate the potential
benefits of ICCON through preliminary simulation and numerical results in an
example use case.
