<http://livestream.com/internetsociety/i2internethistory>Today, Tuesday 14
September 2020, at 13:00 EDT (18:00 UTC) *Internet2
<https://internet2.edu/>* hosts an Internet History Webinar: '*How the US
NSFNET Regional Academic Networks Evolved to Become the Global Internet
(1985 — 1995) <https://internet2.edu/internet2-internet-history-webinar/>*'.

The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) *NSFNET Program
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Science_Foundation_Network>*
(partially) funded a range of (academic) regional networks1, starting in
1985/86. Over a relatively short period of time, the regional networks
developed their customer base and funding models and became Internet
service providers (ISPs). Connections to the Federal Internet Exchange(s)
(FIXs) and the Commercial Internet eXchange(s) (CIXs) were developed, and
some of the regional networks evolved to become global ISPs.

The webinar will feature short presentations from some of the Regional
Network / ISP pioneers, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session.
