FARNET: 51 Network Success Stories

51 Reasons to Invest in the National Information Infrastructure

Early in 1993, the Federation of American Research Networks teamed with Interop, Inc. and the Coalition for Networked Information to collect, organize, and disseminate stories which describe the transformational potential of high performance networks such as the Internet. The goal was to document the positive affects the Internet was having upon the provision of services in education, research, manufacturing or other areas. Fifty-one of these so-called "network success stories" were published as a booklet and sent to all the members of the current U.S. Congress as well as to the Clinton Administration. All of the contributed submissions are compiled here.
