"Introducing JPNIC Members" focuses on a particular JPNIC member engaged in interesting activities. This time, we visited Air Internet Service Co, Ltd., headquartered in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. They are one of the oldest ISP companies in the Internet industry, providing Internet-related services since April 1996. As their company name suggests, they want to be as ubiquitous and necessary as air to their customers. They make the best use of their technological capabilities to provide detailed services that meet the needs of their customers. They focus mainly on email-based services, but are also involved in unique services such as reservation systems for restaurants. The company's employees are truly a part of the history of the Internet, and they take pride in their work as engineers who support the Internet's infrastructure. During the interview, we had a very enjoyable time talking about the Internet from its early days to the present.
"The Internet Loves You" is a corner in which we introduce a person who is active in the Internet industry. This time, we introduce Mr. Zachary John-Isaac Mathis, who is working at the forefront of cyber security. In addition to his work as Security Division CTO / Evangelist at Kobe Digital Laboratory (KDL), he also runs a study group called "Yamato Security," teaches educational programs, and has many hobbies in his private life. He talks about his passion for security and what drives him in his daily activities. You'll be astonished by his versatility.
When considering the future of Internet traffic, it is necessary to anticipate the future of the services that are generating it. Streaming accounts for about 70% of Internet traffic, and its track share has been increasing every year. Therefore, to predict the future of the Internet, especially the future of traffic, it is necessary to predict the future of streaming. In "Internet 10 Minute Lecture," Mr. Masaaki Nabeshima of J-Stream, Inc. provides an overview of the current state and future of streaming.
In addition, you'll also find "Internet Topics", "JPNIC Activity Reports", "Statistics" etc., for the past several months. If you have any comments or feedback, please feel free to contact us at jpnic-news@nic.ad.jp.. Your comments are greatly appreciated!!
