INET'96 Announcement

INET'96, the 6th Annual Conference of the Internet Society focusing on worldwide issues of Internet networking will bring together those extending the reach and use of Internet networks. Participants will include those developing and implementing Internet networks, applications, and policies for worldwide infrastructure development. The development of Internet networks in an ever wider variety of social, cultural, economic and linguistic contexts is also a focal point of this conference.

INET'96 will encompass certain horizontal threads reflecting the general tone of this conference. In particular, the desire to treat the Internet as a unified, complex, phenomenon meshing highly technical issues with deeply social, economic, and cultural concerns is stressed in order to help the whole world better understand the Internet revolution.
