Fabulous prizes including 6 free Interop tutorials, RT-FM t-shirts, and ORAudio tapes as part of our "Fabulous Hotlist Hunt." A local news staff featuring such Internet personalities as Jeff Schiller from MIT as our Internet Traffic Reporter, Paul Jones from Sunsite as our Webmaster, and Simon Hackett from Australia who will demonstrate how to tame home appliances using simple UDP packet transfers. The cybercast will be based in the Conrad Ballroom of the Las Vegas Hilton. ARPA is furnishing 2 of their advanced technology "Enterprise Rooms" as the Network Operating Center. Sun Microsystems is furnishing a dozen Sparcstations, MCI is running 6 T1 lines in which will connect the show network to Alternet and BARRNet.

Complete sponsor lists for this volunteer event will be posted on home pages, mail messages, and on-site. Please come see us if you are in Las Vegas for Networld+Interop. The event will use a large number of Internet protocols to move information out into the network. The hype list referenced above is one method, but there will also be a constantly updated WWW page, Gopher servers, audio files accessible by FTP, and multicasts of audio, video, and still images on the MBONE. More details on each of these protocols will be announced on the hype () media org list and will be available by 5 PM Tuesday May 3 PDT as a WWW home page on www.media.org. The purpose of all this noise is to highlight some of the things that the Internet can do and to give us and our volunteers an opportunity to learn what it means to be a full-time, multimedia, multiprotocol presence on the Internet. Not to mention one of our constant goals: have a little fun in a toy-intensive environment. Stay tuned for more information and thanks for listening! Carl Malamud Internet Multicasting Service
