/////////////////////////  PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT  \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

              SUNERGY - LIVE INTERACTIVE SATELLITE BROADCAST #8
                              January 11, 1994
                            8:30 - 10:00 am (PST)

                    "Global Information Infrastructures"

In the last Sunergy broadcast the topic of the Internet was discussed.
During that program we took a look at some of the ways that the
Internet acts as both supplier and retriever of information,
internationally.  We also discussed US government policy and security
issues.

Sunergy #8 will take an even *closer* look into the building
of a global information highway.

Topics/issues covered will include:

        - Interoperabilty and standards issues
        - Current applications available
        - Tools available to build *new* applications
        - What critical factors stand in the way (or are yet
          to be resolved)?
        - How will the building of a NII (National Information
          Infrastructure) in the United States affect the rest of
          the world?
        - What are the initial factors driving the market?

Guests:

John Gage - Director of the Science Office, Sun Microsystems
Dr. Eric Schmidt - President, Sun Technology Enterprises
Others to be announced
