Jane Coffin

Senior Vice President of Internet Growth at the Internet Society, Jane is responsible for the development of Community Networks, Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) and interconnection, peering, and community development, and a new project on measuring the health of the Internet.

In this webinar, you will learn:
  • Expert opinions on what we learned from the vital role played by the Internet in 2020 in providing a sense of normalcy for people around the world where the world felt anything but normal, as well as their predictions for the future.
  • How the Internet is a lifeline that lets us keep up with the latest information to stay healthy and safe, and stay connected with friends, family and our business colleagues.
  • Everyone should have access to this transformative resource. Yet nearly half the world’s population is unconnected, missing out on possibility and opportunity. We want to build a bigger, stronger Internet and move us closer to achieving our vision that the Internet is for everyone. We’ll explain how.
  • How the ‘Internet Way of Networking’ can facilitate the flow of knowledge, ideas and information that will help the Internet be the basis for social development.
  • The openness of the Internet is its core strength. Yet this openness makes the Internet vulnerable to the pressures of uninformed government regulation and market centralization. If these threats continue unchallenged governments and businesses could harm the Internet – and they might not even know it.
