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.

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.

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.

The Conversation #26 — Jenny Lee
presented by Aengus Anderson, Jenny Lee, Micah Saul

The worst-case scenario for Detroit would be that the architecture of the Internet as it is now continues, and Detroiters' stories, voices, lives, are absent. And the New York Times story about the creative class saving Detroit, or the documentary about the abandonment and wholesale destruction of Detroit that portrays it as a wasteland and a blank canvas ready for entrepreneurial exploitation, that those stories are defining the national, the global imagination of what Detroit is. And that those stories, they don't use influence people's desire to come here and do those things and live that life, though that's part of it, but it also shapes the perception of people inside the city.
