Mr. Watanabe,
The Internet Society maintains a regularly updated set of powerpoint colour
graphics that portray this information.
URLs:
ftp:/ftp.isoc.org/isoc/charts/internet.ppt and browsing.ppt
gopher://gopher.isoc.org:70/11/isoc.and.ietf
(browse to "Presentation and Reference Materials")
The presentation hongkong.ppt in this directory also contains some metrics
graphs specific to the Asia-Pacific region from the recent Pacific Neighborhood
Consortium Conference in Hong Kong.
These are typically updated within a day of the new information becoming
available
from the authoritative sources. The binaries are capable of being displayed on
both PC Windows and Mac platforms.
In addition, the same directory contains tabular data by region and country
that portrays 1993 developments. This is from the Internet Society News special
edition "A Year in the Life of the Internet" that contains an extensive
portrayal
of advances around the world.
If you are particularly interested in global developments, please consider
coming
to the Society's annual International Networking Conference - this year in
Prague
in mid-June. We expect more than 1 000 attendees from around the world
portraying
the latest global Internet developments. We are also bringing together more
than
one hundred attendees from developing countries for an intensive one-week
internet
infrastructure workshop prior to the conference. A set of excellent
proceedings
is available - as they are from previous INET conferences. You can get
further
information on the Conference including a registration template from the same
servers indicated above under the heading "INET94."
We are currently building the "Internet Global NIC" reference center for a wide
range of international Internet and internetworking related information
on an new SPARC Server 1000 quad processor platform that we expect to have
available within a few weeks. It will support http (WWW), gopher, and ftp
services. The Society would be honoured to work with the Nomura Research
Institute in developing information of interest.
yours cordially,
Tony Rutkowski
