The Regional Networks

Session Type:
Professional Development
This panel, representing the visionary pioneers of the nascent Internet in the late 1980s and early 1990s, will discuss the critical role played by the regional networks. Ultimately benefiting institutions of all types and sizes, the regional networks solved formidable technical problems, created critical interoperability standards, developed organizational models, and evangelized for new applications. Without the work of the regional networks, neither higher education nor the global information web would work the way they do today.
