- <br>> <br>>Hi,
- <br>> <br>>In my role as the President of INTiaa (Internet Industry Association of
- <br>>Australia), I was wondering what plans you had for Australia to participate
- <br>>in this activity. INTiaa would be pleased to assist with any proceedings
- <br>>you had planned for this region.
- <br>> <br>>If you did have not plans for this region then we would also welcome the
- <br>>opportunity to explore how we may take part in what promises to a very
- <br>>exciting event for the industry.

- <br>>> <br>>> LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, U.S.A., 1995 APR 3 (NB) via First! -- A group of
- <br>>>Internet enthusiasts want to draw more of the world's attention to the
- <br>>>global network of networks by holding an online exposition next year. The
- <br>>>Internet 1996 World Exposition was formally announced during the
- <br>>>NetWorld+Interop trade show.
- <br>>> <br>>> According to details of the proposal posted by the Internet Multicasting
- <br>>>Service on the World Wide Web, the exposition is to be "a world's fair in
- <br>>>the spirit of the great universal expositions of the turn of the last
- <br>>>century that marked the beginning of our modern industrial economies. We
- <br>>>propose a world's fair for the turn of this century, helping to usher in the
- <br>>>information economy."
- <br>>> <br>>> The organizers said they want to build "a public park for the global
- <br>>>village," bringing together government and industry leaders with working
- <br>>>engineers. The fair will expose many people to the technology while also
- <br>>>leaving behind permanent infrastructure "to help drive the information
- <br>>>economy forward," they said.
- <br>>> <br>>> The Internet Multicasting Service, best known for producing radio-like
- <br>>>audio programming on the Internet, said it is coordinating the United
- <br>>>States' participation in the planned fair.
- <br>>> <br>>> The project has a number of backers in the computer industry, including
- <br>>>Cisco Systems Inc., MCI Corp., Quantum Corp., and Sun Microsystems Inc.
- <br>>>Trade-show operator Softbank Expos -- organizer of Networld+Interop -- is
- <br>>>also involved, and NBC, the television network, is listed as an organizer.
- <br>>>One of the latest additions to the sponsor list is rock star Peter Gabriel's
- <br>>>Real World studio, producer of the World Music Festival (WOMAD).
- <br>>> <br>>> The exposition will include a number of online "pavilions." Imperial
- <br>>>College in London, built on the site where the Crystal Palace was erected
- <br>>>for the 1859 World's Fair, said it plans to build a Crystal Pavilion for the
- <br>>>1996 Internet version. Also in the plans are a Future of Media pavilion, a
- <br>>>Global Schoolhouse pavilion that will let children around the world work
- <br>>>together on research projects, a Reinventing Government pavilion dedicated
- <br>>>to putting government information online, a ToasterNet pavilion focused on
- <br>>>bringing new and unusual devices onto the Internet, and a Small Business
- <br>>>pavilion.
- <br>>> <br>>> One feature of the Global Schoolhouse will be a mid-year "Wire Our
- <br>>>Schools" day when engineers, electricians, and others will be asked to
- <br>>>volunteer to help wire local schools.
- <br>>> <br>>> The pavilions have two main goals, the organizers said. The first is to
- <br>>>bring the real world into cyberspace by putting new information online, and
- <br>>>the second is to bring cyberspace into the real world by introducing more
- <br>>>people to the Internet. Other groups will be encouraged to set up their own
- <br>>>pavilions, the backers said, with the proviso that each pavilion "must give
- <br>>>something back to the community. Commercial activity is encouraged, but to
- <br>>>be a pavilion, you must make some kind of public contribution."
- <br>>> <br>>> Another feature of the exposition, the "Internet Railroad," is meant to
- <br>>>help increase the telecommunications infrastructure available for moving
- <br>>>public data around the world. Organizers hope to connect the core pavilions
- <br>>>with T3 lines running at 45 megabits-per-second (Mbps). Lower-speed lines
- <br>>>will fan out from the T3 backbones.
- <br>>> <br>>> The Internet Town Hall, operating from the National Press Club in
- <br>>>Washington, will run monthly events that will include bringing world leaders
- <br>>>onto the Internet. Events are being planned around the US presidential
- <br>>>elections, Earth Day, and a year-end holiday celebration. Organizers said
- <br>>>they plan to release a more detailed schedule of events later this year.
- <br>>> <br>>> A series of industrial expositions will show off Internet technology, tied
- <br>>>in with sessions at the six Networld+Interop shows during 1996.
