Susan Estrada’s Internet Hall of Fame 2014 Induction Speech

presented by Susan Estrada

One of our ear­li­est com­mer­cial cus­tomers was a small start­up named Qualcomm. And we made some bold choic­es like pur­chas­ing equip­ment from anoth­er small start­up named Cisco and pro­vid­ed them with a big boost. We were 10% of their gross rev­enue for 1988, and they did­n’t know how to ful­fill our order.

Masaki Hirabaru’s Internet Hall of Fame 2014 Induction Speech (Posthumous)

presented by Miko Hirabaru

I’m very hap­py that I could par­tic­i­pate in this cer­e­mo­ny today for my father. To be hon­est, I grew up with­out know­ing much of his work. But this time I could know that there are many peo­ple who high­ly regard­ed his work and loved his character.

presented by Srinivasan Ramani

I stand here as a rep­re­sen­ta­tive of num­ber of groups of col­leagues. The work that was described was a part of what I did as part of the Indian aca­d­e­m­ic net­work project called the Education & Research Network, ERNET, fund­ed by the gov­ern­ment of India and sup­port­ed by the United Nations Development Programme.

Rolf Nordhagen’s Internet Hall of Fame 2014 Induction Speech (Posthumous)

presented by Anne-Lise Nordhagen

I would like to thank the ISOC for hon­or­ing my late hus­band Rolf Nordhagen. Participating in the his­to­ry of the Internet, he would have been so proud to be rec­og­nized in this way.

Radia Perlman’s Internet Hall of Fame 2014 Induction Speech

presented by Radia Perlman

I would like to say that I was born know­ing I was going to be design­ing pro­to­cols. But in fact, if I’d known more about com­put­ers when I was young, I would have said I would be hap­py doing pret­ty much any­thing as long as it did­n’t involve computers.

Michael Roberts’ Internet Hall of Fame 2014 Induction Speech

presented by Michael Roberts

My love affair with com­put­ing, which became after awhile a love affair with net­work­ing, began in the mid­dle 60s when I was a grad­u­ate stu­dent in busi­ness at Stanford. And some­one said, ​“You know, there’s some­thing going on on the west side of cam­pus hav­ing to do with computers.”

Paul Vixie’s Internet Hall of Fame 2014 Induction Speech

presented by Paul Vixie

I spent the first half, let’s say fif­teen years of a career, try­ing to make com­mu­ni­ca­tions eas­i­er. And I thought that was a cool thing; I thought that would be great. I’ve spent rough­ly the sec­ond half, anoth­er fif­teen years, try­ing to make com­mu­ni­ca­tion hard­er, or at least more selec­tive and safer

Mahabir Pun’s Internet Hall of Fame 2014 Induction Speech

presented by Mahabir Pun

I did not invent an impor­tant thing. I am not an inno­va­tor. The only thing I did is you know, in ear­ly 2000, when WiFi was just com­ing I used a sim­ple indoor router to make a long-range wire­less link, a forty-kilometer link, to bring Internet in my home village.

Karlheinz Brandenburg’s Internet Hall of Fame 2014 Induction Speech

presented by Karlheinz Brandenburg

Thanks goes to every­body who helped to spread the tech­nol­o­gy. Okay, no. There’s one guy I won’t thank, and that’s the one who used a stolen cred­it card num­ber to buy our soft­ware and then spread it claim­ing it’s free. He did help us, but still I don’t thank him. 

John Cioffi’s Internet Hall of Fame 2014 Induction Speech

presented by John Cioffi

In view­ing the list of pre­vi­ous and cur­rent inductees, one is awestruck just to be includ­ed among them. My own con­tri­bu­tions in broad­band access, par­tic­u­lar­ly DSL, seem some­what dwarfed by those of the others.

Rashad Robinson on Interventions for Institutions
presented by Rashad Robinson

I want to inject a little culture into this conversation. And as we talk about the reasons that we make interventions in this work, the reason why we advocate for truth in the media, and the reason why organizations like mine do that work is for our community, for the folks that we represent.

What Do Algorithms Know?
presented by Ed Finn

The Tyranny of Algorithms is obviously a polemical title to start a conversation around computation and culture. But I think that it helps us get into the cultural, the political, the legal, the ethical dimensions of code. Because we so often think of code, and code is so often constructed, in a purely technical framework, by people who see themselves as solving technical problems. Read more →

Designing a Country from Scratch: Nation Branding in South Sudan
presented by Anne Quito

Design for emergence operates on a different set of criteria steeped in the politics and urgency of its time. I believe that in this scenario, having these so-called safe choices is not a bad thing. During this time of emergence it's good that we have defined a graphic language of nationhood, expedient variations of heraldic traditions of crests, cartouches, and coats of arms. A lingua franca of legitimacy. Read more →

What’s The Most Good You Can Do?
presented by Peter Singer

Unfortunately at the moment I think typically philanthropy is not being used very effectively, and that's partly because of the kind of non-judgmental attitude that philanthropy advisors and people generally have about philanthropy. Read more →
