 Internet Hall of Fame
 Welcomes 2014 Inductees at Ceremony in Hong
 Kong

 Ceremony celebrates 24 new
 members whose vision, innovation, and determination helped
 shape today’s Internet and expand global connectivity

 [Hong Kong -- 8 April 2014]
 Twenty-four people who designed and advanced the Internet as
 the global, world-changing platform that it is today will be
 inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame. The Internet Hall

 the 2014 class of inductees have pushed the boundaries of
 technological and social innovation to connect the
 world.  Their trailblazing accomplishments

 that were foundational to the Internet’s development
 and expansion.

 The Internet Hall of Fame
 celebrates Internet leaders and innovators from around the
 world who believe in the design and potential of an open
 Internet and, through their work, have helped change the way
