The Japanese press's interest in the Internet appears
to be increasing. Maybe some people saw this but, the
evening edition of Friday's (Nov.26) Nikkei newspaper
had a half page ad for a seminar on the Internet.
The seminar is sponsored by Nikkei and IBM Japan. Featured
speaker is Mr. Eric Aupperle, President of Merit Inc. and
an NSF Net Executive Committee member. Also scheduled to
speak is Dr. Bharath Kadaba, director of IBM's High
Performance Computing & Communications division and also
an NSF Net Executive Committee member. The seminar is set
for Friday Dec. 3 from PM1:00 to 5:00 at the New Otani
and costs YEN 15,000. Call Nikkei at 03-5255-2734 for
details.
