The History of APC: A Timeline
The History of APC: A Timeline 28 July 2011 APC

In the 1980s as the Cold War intensified and the threat of nuclear war loomed the internet was only open to the military and academia. Commercial email networks existed but weren’t unconnected to one another.

APC itself needed to broaden its focus from primarily facilitating technical inte...

APC Annual Report 2003
APC Annual Report 2003 19 November 2010 APC

The year 2003 was memorable for one particular process that galvanised APC’s efforts – the World Summit on the Information Society which took place in Geneva in December 2003. WSIS was a watershed in public participation as information and communications policy shifted from the obscure world of techno-jargon to be recognised as social policy that affects everyone. From APC’s perspective a...
