National Net '95

From: "Elizabeth Barnhart"
NATIONAL NET'95 Preliminary Program 5-7 April 1995 Loews L'enfant Plaza Hotel Washington, DC
The theme of NET'95 is Reaching Everyone. The rapid growth of the Internet, and the accelerating pace of introduction of ever more powerful computers and information appliances virtually guarantee that most Americans will enjoy the benefits of the NII in their work and recreation within the next decade. But many individuals, businesses and small organizations will not be included in the network unless plans and policies are laid now to ensure their participation. This is the challenge we will explore in NET'95 - Reaching Everyone.

Redefining Fair Use for the Information Age
* Peter Lyman, Moderator
Print, sound and video media have evolved separate and intricate systems of managing rights which must now be rationalized to create a usable environment for the broadband, multimedia NII. And a new equilibrium between commercial exploitation and royalty free use for educational purposes must be achieved. Representatives of the contending interests will promote their visions of a new generation of fair use.
