Don't miss Connectivity 2002 as the owners of the Internet (you) assemble to restart the Internet revolution and set the stage for a 21st century Internet renaissance! Connectivity 2002 brings together the broadest range of frontline Internet issues assembled to date. The event seeks to help leverage our collective voices as an antidote to those working against innovative uses of the Internet. New Internet applications increasingly get litigated or regulated out of existence by the time they make it out of beta. Early Internet applications like email and the world wide web disrupted business models as much as later applications like peer-to-peer file sharing, IP Telephony, and streaming, but the incumbent players have become much more aggressive about blocking innovative uses of the Internet. Connectivity 2002 presents the Internet visionaries leading the charge to keep the Internet safe for innovation. Meet the technical guru's that invented TCP/IP, DNS, Visicalc, MBone, IP Telephony and other cool applications. Meet the policy guru's that brought us Stupid Networks, Digital Tornado, ChillingEffects.org, and The Cluetrain Manifesto. Lead by our Program Chair, Bob Frankston, Connectivity 2002 includes the people working to make sure simple end-to-end connectivity remains the underlying principle of the Internet and the driver of communications in the 21st century, including: David Reed, Dave Farber, Dave Burstein, David Isenberg, Kevin Werbach, Chris Herot, Ray Everett-Church, David Weinberger, Allison Mankin, Wendy Seltzer and Paul Mockapetris.
