I was worried that they would try to reproduce the work of various assistance providers, but instead they are focusing on their area of expertise and teaching readers about the technologies, programs and policies that affect how the Internet functions. The inaugural issue includes information about international domain names and an introduction to PIR's parent organization, the Internet Society. Posted: 8/23/05; 3:07:16 PM #
