During that program we took a look at some of the ways that the Internet acts as both supplier and retriever of information, internationally. We also discussed US government policy and security issues. (The Sun Ft. Lauderdale office has its own satellite dish, so we will be hosting this event in our office. 11:30 am to 1:00 pm EST-johnj) Tuesday January 11, 1994 8:30 - 10:00 am (NOTE --> PST <----) Sunergy #8 will take an even *closer* look into the building of a global information highway. Topics/issues covered will include: - Interoperability and standards issues - What critical factors stand in the way (or are yet to be resolved)? - How will the building of an NII (National Information Infrastructure) in the United States affect the rest of the world? - What are the "real world" uses of an information highway? - What will this highway look like?
