The creation of an interconnected global network is creating many
exciting possibilities. However, the movement of vast quantities of
data and information raise numerous issues which must be examined.
Just as the eventual uses of the telephone were not predicted when it
was developed, there is a need to look at the future for a society in
which nearly all the data in existence is available on-line.

This symposium will address the social, environmental and
implementation issues of the Global Information Infrastructure (GII).
It is aimed at the decision makers involved in the creation and use of
the information infrastructure throughout the Asia-Pacific region and
will help them to effectively address the issues which implementation
will inevitably raise.

While this symposium cannot predict the ultimate uses to which this
infrastructure will be put, it will explore some of the possibilities
which may have a profound effect on the abilities of the general
public to take advantage of the opportunities presented.

The International Council for Computer Communication (ICCC) was
founded in 1972.
