The explosive growth of global computer networking has attracted the
attention of investment bankers, regulators, entrepreneurs and has
become a fascination of the general public. During the next five years
there will be a revolution in the way individuals shop for products and
services and receive and engage in entertainment and education.
Collaborative game playing and education, with participants all over
the world, will take place. Home shopping with multimedia presentations
of products personalized to the customer will be the norm. Companies
will effortlessly be able to exchange complex engineering drawings with
voice annotation, and video conferencing will support full integration
of picture, voice and computing, so that physically dispersed meetings
can be conducted as if everyone were in the same room with direct
access to computing.
The issues of how global networking will evolve and their resolution
will be decided based on a complex interplay between technology,
economics and politics. The goal of the conference is to specify the
key issues and some possible solutions. The principal conference
organizers, Texas Internet Consulting and the Center for Information
Systems Management, School of Business Administration of The University
of Texas at Austin, have respectively been leaders in technology
developments and in the analyses of economic and political questions.
The speakers and panelists are leading Internet entrepreneurs, lawyers,
relators, business executives, economists and technology innovators.
