The Internet Society of Australia (ISOC-AU) and the Australian Centre for Advanced Computing and Communications (ac3) hosted a forum in NSW on May 28 2002 focussing on major network initiatives and their effects on industry, business, research and consumers. It was a great success - the talks offered a wide-ranging and optimistic perspective on current developments.

The presentations were excellent, and included George McLaughlin on new terabit networks, Tony Hill on Australia's Internet future; John O'Callaghan, Terry Percival and Keith Burston on recent major networks; and Chris Howells on the business perspective.

Paul Brooks and Simon Hackett discussed complementary yet different approaches to bringing broadband to a major city and to rural regions; Narelle Clark had a fascinating view of changes over time in a major network, Joe Chicharo spoke on an Internet CRC, and the forum finishing with a resounding call for more user participation in Internet governance by George Michaelson.

Here are some photographs from the forum sessions
