People from across the world met for a day and a half at Stanford University in October 2015 to consider: what would it mean to have a truly “People-Centered Internet” and what can we do to get there?
[1]“This meeting is about exploring new ways to make network infrastructure and applications work to improve the quality of life for many millions if not billions of people. We face a forest of ideas and need to help each other navigate through many of them - learning from one another as we share experience and insight. We are interested in concrete steps that may be possible, embedding them in a longer term vision of plausible evolution.”
