for fiware it is extremely important the sustainability of the whole
initiative. to this extent if there are no plans from those who operate the
fiware infrastructres (i.e. the various fiware lab nodes) well beyond the
limit of an fp7 project than for us there is no interest in having them on
board.
so this why this critical requirement, i.e. if the proposers believe in
fiware it is clear that they have plans to make it profitable, so the
proposal is the place where to tell about this plans that shoudl show their
concreteness and credibility.
there are no specific requirements on the hw/sw infrastructure to serve the
commercial part, but of course it should be in line with commercial plan.

as you migth know the fiware open source community is about to be fully in
place. it will be this community that will decide in a common and
autonosmouly way what to do after the 14 months period (31 dec 2016). by
the way, we are creating this community exactly becouse we want fiware to
have long life and we believe this is possible.
we cannot provide examples for obvious reasons.

hope this helps, but happy to provide further clarifications if you need so.

ciao,
stefano
