+Abstract
+
+   This document expresses the Internet Society's ideology that the
+   Internet really is for everyone.  However, it will only be such  if
+   we make it so.
+
+1. The Internet is for everyone
+
+   How easy to say - how hard to achieve!
+
+   How have we progressed towards this noble goal?
+
+   The Internet is in its 14th year of annual doubling since 1988.
+   There are over 150 million hosts on the Internet and an estimated 513
+   million users, world wide.
+
+   By 2006, the global Internet is likely to exceed the size of the
+   global telephone network, if it has not already become the telephone
+   network by virtue of IP telephony.  Moreover, as many as 1.5 billion
+   Internet-enabled appliances will have joined traditional servers,
+   desk tops and laptops as part of the Internet family.  Pagers, cell
+   phones and personal digital assistants may well have merged to become
+   the new telecommunications tools of the next decade.  But even at the
+   scale of the telephone system, it is sobering to realize that only
+   half of the Earth's population has ever made a telephone call.
+
+   It is estimated that commerce on the network will reach somewhere
+   between $1.8T and $3.2T by 2003.  That is only two years from now
+   (but a long career in Internet years).
+

+RFC 3271              The Internet is for Everyone            April 2002
+
+
+   The number of Internet users will likely reach over 1000 million by
+   the end of the year 2005, but that is only about 16% of the world's
+   population.  By 2047 the world's population may reach about 11
+   billion.  If only 25% of the then world's population is on the
+   Internet, that will be nearly 3 billion users.
+
+   As high bandwidth access becomes the norm through digital subscriber
+   loops, cable modems and digital terrestrial and satellite radio
+   links, the convergence of media available on the Internet will become
+   obvious.  Television, radio, telephony and the traditional print
+   media will find counterparts on the Internet - and will be changed in
+   profound ways by the presence of software that transforms the one-way
+   media into interactive resources, shareable by many.
+
+   The Internet is proving to be one of the most powerful amplifiers of
+   speech ever invented.  It offers a global megaphone for voices that
+   might otherwise be heard only feebly, if at all.  It invites and
+   facilitates multiple points of view and dialog in ways
+   unimplementable by the traditional, one-way, mass media.
+
+   The Internet can facilitate democratic practices in unexpected ways.
+   Did you know that proxy voting for stock shareholders is now commonly
+   supported on the Internet?  Perhaps we can find additional ways in
+   which to simplify and expand the voting franchise in other domains,
+   including the political, as access to Internet increases.
+
+   The Internet is becoming the repository of all we have accomplished
+   as a society.  It has become a kind of disorganized "Boswell" of the
+   human spirit.  Be thoughtful in what you commit to email, news
+   groups, and other Internet communication channels - it may well turn
+   up in a web search some day.  Thanks to online access to common
+   repositories, shared databases on the Internet are acting to
+   accelerate the pace of research progress.
+
+   The Internet is moving off the planet!  Already, interplanetary
+   Internet is part of the NASA Mars mission program now underway at the
+   Jet Propulsion Laboratory.  By 2008 we should have a well-functioning
+   Earth-Mars network that serves as a nascent backbone of an inter-
+   planetary system of Internets - InterPlaNet is a network of
+   Internets!  Ultimately, we will have interplanetary Internet relays
+   in polar solar orbit so that they can see most of the planets and
+   their associated interplanetary gateways for most, if not all of the
+   time.
+
+   The Internet Society is launching a new campaign to facilitate access
+   to and use of Internet everywhere.  The campaign slogan is "Internet
+   is for everyone," but there is much work needed to accomplish this
+   objective.

+RFC 3271              The Internet is for Everyone            April 2002
+
+
+   Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if it isn't affordable by
+   all that wish to partake of its services, so we must dedicate
+   ourselves to making the Internet as affordable as other
+   infrastructures so critical to our well-being.  While we follow
+   Moore's Law to reduce the cost of Internet-enabling equipment, let us
+   also seek to stimulate regulatory policies that take advantage of the
+   power of competition to reduce costs.
+
+   Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if Governments restrict
+   access to it, so we must dedicate ourselves to keeping the network
+   unrestricted, unfettered and unregulated.  We must have the freedom
+   to speak and the freedom to hear.
+
+   Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if it cannot keep up with
+   the explosive demand for its services, so we must dedicate ourselves
+   to continuing its technological evolution and development of the
+   technical standards the lie at the heart of the Internet revolution.
+   Let us dedicate ourselves to the support of the Internet Architecture
+   Board, the Internet Engineering Steering Group, the Internet Research
+   Task Force, the Internet Engineering Task Force and other
+   organizations dedicated to developing Internet technology as they
+   drive us forward into an unbounded future. Let us also commit
+   ourselves to support the work of the Internet Corporation for
+   Assigned Names and Numbers - a key function for the Internet's
+   operation.
+
+   Internet is for everyone - but it won't be until in every home, in
+   every business, in every school, in every library, in every hospital
+   in every town and in every country on the Globe, the Internet can be
+   accessed without limitation, at any time and in every language.
+
+   Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if it is too complex to be
+   used easily by everyone.  Let us dedicate ourselves to the task of
+   simplifying the Internet's interfaces and to educating all that are
+   interested in its use.
+
+   Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if legislation around the
+   world creates a thicket of incompatible laws that hinder the growth
+   of electronic commerce, stymie the protection of intellectual
+   property, and stifle freedom of expression and the development of
+   market economies.  Let us dedicate ourselves to the creation of a
+   global legal framework in which laws work across national boundaries
+   to reinforce the upward spiral of value that the Internet is capable
+   of creating.

+RFC 3271              The Internet is for Everyone            April 2002
+
+
+   Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if its users cannot
+   protect their privacy and the confidentiality of transactions
+   conducted on the network.  Let us dedicate ourselves to the
+   proposition that cryptographic technology sufficient to protect
+   privacy from unauthorized disclosure should be freely available,
+   applicable and exportable.  Moreover, as authenticity lies at the
+   heart of trust in networked environments, let us dedicate ourselves
+   to work towards the development of authentication methods and systems
+   capable of supporting electronic commerce through the Internet.
+
+   Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if parents and teachers
+   cannot voluntarily create protected spaces for our young people for
+   whom the full range of Internet content still may be inappropriate.
+   Let us dedicate ourselves to the development of technologies and
+   practices that offer this protective flexibility to those who accept
+   responsibility for providing it.
+
+   Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if we are not responsible
+   in its use and mindful of the rights of others who share its wealth.
+   Let us dedicate ourselves to the responsible use of this new medium
+   and to the proposition that with the freedoms the Internet enables
+   comes a commensurate responsibility to use these powerful enablers
+   with care and consideration.  For those who choose to abuse these
+   privileges, let us dedicate ourselves to developing the necessary
+   tools to combat the abuse and punish the abuser.
+
+   Internet is for everyone - even Martians!
+
+   I hope Internauts everywhere will join with the Internet Society and
+   like-minded organizations to achieve this, easily stated but hard to
+   attain goal.  As we pass the milestone of the beginning of the third
+   millennium, what better theme could we possibly ask for than making
+   the Internet the medium of this new millennium?
+
+   Internet IS for everyone - but it won't be unless WE make it so.
+
+2. Security Considerations
+
+   This document does not treat security matters, except for reference
+   to the utility of cryptographic techniques to protect confidentiality
+   and privacy.
