Frequently Asked Questions
What is INET?
Participants at each INET include leading Internet practitioners, users,
commercial and governmental policy/decision-makers, and many of the world's
leading developers. The influence and seniority of these participants is
well-known.
The first INET conference was held in 1991, when an estimated 4 million
people had access to the Internet, most of whom were based at academic/research
institutions. By 1997 that number has risen to57 million people. The demographic
profile of these people has changed significantly. Today we see a population
of well-educated users with above-average disposable income, a more professional
profile, many of whom now access the Internet from their commercial offices.
At the same time, the number of countries with access to the Internet has
grown considerably.
The nature of the INET conferences has reflected these changes, including
growth.
