Looking back in time
--------------------

On November 24th 1997 the association Internet Society Nederland was founded
during a crowded launch event in Utrecht. At the time only a minority of
people in the Netherlands know what the internet was. That wouldn't take
long. With special campaigns Internet Society Nederland - initially chaired
by former minister Koos Andriessen - introduced the Dutch to the internet in
shopping malls, at computer fairs, in television programmes and various
other ways. 

There was no (A)DSL available to consumers, nor was there internet through
the cable. 'Internetten' was done by dialing the phone number of your
internet provider with your computer, and under optimal conditions the modem
was able to reach a staggering speed 56.6 kilobit per second. If you were
done, you would go offline - otherwise it would be too expensive. Not to
mention that using the internet would block your phone for incoming calls
completely, blocking important phone calls to many unhappy teenagers and
disgruntled parents. It did not last long before the country was flooded
with cd rom's of internet providers, that tried to haul in customers by
providing hundres of 'free' hours of access.

In fifteen years time a lot has happened. Internet is now an integral part
of our society. Data retention, net neutrality, cookie legislation, internet
blocking - just a couple of headlines from an avalanche of developments we
did not have a clue about in 1997. Meanwhile a new generation of digital
natives has been raised with internet, embracing a whole new lifestyle.
Sadly, at the same time not everybody that was there at the launch is still
with us. 

On November 22nd we will look back on fifteen years of Internet Society
Netherlands, and a hectic time in which the Netherlands has embraced the
internet and has made significant contributions to its growth. And we will
look back with the people that helped shape it and some of the people that
will continue their work into the future to reminisce and discuss what
awaits us. Don't miss it!
