Plenary
Sessions
The following
Plenary Sessions will bring together panels of well-respected experts
and specialists during INET/IGC 2004:
- Using
the Internet to promote democratization
Panelists
will address how they have used the Internet to foster and promote human
rights, development issues and ultimately democratization movements
in their own countries.
- Guessing
the Future
Panelists
will bring forward their views - and visions - regarding the Internet
and how it will affect us as a global society, our cultures, languages,
education and way of life in the next 5 to 15 years.
-
New Technologies for New Markets
Panelists
will bring forth examples of how new technologies are creating successful
new business models that are narrowing the digital divide and making
the Internet and new technologies a universal tool to be enjoyed by
many, from facilitating Internet access to third world countries to
using the Internet and other technologies to tear down barriers of illiteracy
and disabilities.
-
Gamechanging Technologies
New
technologies are advancing at such a rate that society can not keep
up with its impacts. During this session, Panelists will discuss key
technology issues (gamechanging or next generation technologies) such
as RFID tags, IPv6, Grid, FTTH, etc. that are having societal, political
and even technological implications.
- Securing
the Net: Building an Open and Trusted Internet
The
unprecedented growth and success of the Internet has turned it into
a valuable tool for international communication and information dissemination.
This development has unavoidably also caused a lot of aspects to surface
that are threatening the usability of the Net as a truly global communications
infrastructure (e.g. spam, viruses, cybercrime etc). In this plenary,
technology visionaries who have been involved with Internet technical
evolution for a long time will discuss the possibility of a building
a trusted, yet open, Internet.
