Internet Pioneer urges Pacific Islanders to face Internet Challenges at PacINET

Dr Vinton G. Cerf, a co-founder and creator of the Internet, has urged Pacific islanders to rise to the challenges and opportunities that the Internet provides to the Pacific and the world.
"The Internet is one of the most valuable contemporary tools for linking to the world-wide community for business, education, cultural exchange and travel. No one has a "corner" on creativity and the Pacific Island populations should have equal footing in the cyber world where they can leverage their own, unique talents.", said Dr Cerf.
His message, now available on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHO9VWUXDlA), comes ahead of this year’s PacINET, the Pacific’s leading annual I CT conference organised by the Pacific Islands Chapter of the Internet Society (PICISOC).
PacINET 2008 is scheduled to kick off in Cook Islands in September (www.picisoc.org).

PICISOC will be joining other ISOC Chapters to celebrate OneWebDay on the22 September.
OneWebDay is one day a year when we all - everyone around the globe - can celebrate the Web and what it means to us as individuals, organizations, and communities.
As with Earth Day - an inspiration and model for OneWebDay - it's up to the celebrants to decide how to celebrate.
The creation of the World Wide Web (the Web) was certainly an important date in the Internet history, what will be the next Internet evolution?
