The Internet evolves incredibly quickly, and as it changes, it changes us. Yesterday’s wonder has become a mainstream element of business and communication for today’s two billion Internet users.
Yet in emerging economies, over four billion potential users are waiting for Internet access.
How can we shape the Internet’s future to meet the needs and expectations of those for whom the Internet is a given and those who have yet to connect?
The Internet Society has been successfully influencing a multistakeholder vision of Internet development since 1992.
