Abstract
The purpose of this article is to give a brief account of what we hope to learn from the future CMB experiments, essentially from the point of view of primordial cosmology. After recalling what we have already learnt, the principles of parameter extraction from the data are summarized. The discussion is then devoted to the information we could gain about the early universe, in the framework of the inflationary scenario, or in more exotic scenarios like brane cosmology.
