O'REILLY RELEASES JOHN PERRY BARLOW 'INFORMATION AGE' SPEECH PLUS THREE NEW
INTERNET TALK RADIO "GEEK OF THE WEEK" INTERVIEWS WITH INTERNET
DEVELOPERS

"Ever listen to one of those 5-minute-long newspieces being broadcast on
National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" and wish they were doing
an in-depth story on new technology? Well, your wishes are answered." --
from BYTE magazine's review of the first three O'Reilly audiotapes

June 23, 1994 -- SEBASTOPOL, CA--The globalization of the Internet,
satellite-based Internet Protocol multicasting, and strategies for dealing
with Internet address allocation are just three of the subjects discussed
by leading Internet developers on four new audiotapes released by O'Reilly
& Associates.

NOTABLE SPEECHES OF THE INFORMATION AGE

"Notable Speeches of the Information Age, John Perry Barlow"
USENIX Conference Keynote Address
January 17, 1994; San Francisco, CA
Duration: 90 minutes, ISBN: 1-56592-992-6, $9.95

John Perry Barlow is a retired Wyoming cattle rancher, a lyricist since
1971 for the Grateful Dead who holds a degree in comparative religion from
Wesleyan University. He also happens to be a recognized authority on
computer security, virtual reality, digitized intellectual property, and
the social and legal conditions arising in the global network of
computers.

In 1990, Barlow co-founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation with Mitch
Kapor, and currently serves as chair of its executive committee. He writes
and lectures on subjects relating to digital technology and society, and
is a contributing editor to Communications of the ACM, NeXTWorld,
Microtimes, Mondo 2000, Wired, and other publications.

In his keynote address to the Winter 1994 USENIX Conference, Barlow talks
of recent developments in the national information infrastructure,
telecommunications regulation, cryptography, globalization of the
Internet, intellectual property, and the settlement of Cyberspace. This
talk explores the premise that "architecture is politics"--that the
technology adopted for the coming "information superhighway" will help to
determine what is carried on it. If the electronic frontier of the
Internet is not to be replaced by electronic strip malls controlled by the
old broadcast content providers, we need to make sure that our
technological choices favor bi-directional communication and open
platforms.

Side A contains the keynote; Side B contains a question and answer period.

THREE NEW "GEEK OF THE WEEK" AUDIOTAPES

"Global Network Operations"
Carl Malamud interviews Brian Carpenter, Bernhard Stockman,
   Mike O'Dell, and Geoff Huston
Duration: 2 hours, ISBN: 1-56592-993-4, $16.95

What does it take to actually run a network? In these four interviews, Carl
Malamud explores some of the technical and operational issues faced by
Internet service providers around the world.

Brian Carpenter is the director for networking at CERN, the high-energy
physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland. Physicists are some of the
world's most active Internet users, and its global user base makes CERN
one of the world's most network-intensive sites. Carpenter discusses how
he deals with issues such as the OSI and DECnet Phase V protocols and his
views on the future of the Internet.

Bernhard Stockman is one of the founders and the technical manager of the
European Backbone (EBONE). EBONE has proven to be the first effective
transit backbone for Europe and has been a leader in the deployment of
CIDR, BGP-4, and other key technologies.

Mike O'Dell is Vice President for Research at UUNET Technologies. O'Dell
has a long record of involvement in data communications, ranging from his
service as a telco lab employee, an engineer on several key projects, a
member of the USENIX board, and now helping define new services for one of
the largest commercial IP service providers.

Geoff Huston is the director of the Australian Academic Research Network
(AARNET). AARNET is known as one of the most progressive regional
networks, rapidly adopting new services for its users. Huston talks about
how networking in Australia has flourished despite astronomically high
rates for long-distance lines.

"Mobile IP Networking"
Carl Malamud interviews Phil Karn and Jun Murai
Duration: 1 hour, ISBN: 1-56592-994-2, $9.95

As portable computers become more common, the Internet Protocol will need
to change to support mobile computing. On this tape, Carl Malamud
interviews two of the pioneers in this field.

Phil Karn is the father of the KA9Q publicly available implementation of
TCP/IP for DOS (which has also been used as the basis for the software in
many commercial Internet routers). KA9Q was originally developed to allow
"packet radio," that is, TCP/IP over ham radio bands. Phil's current
research focus is on commercial applications of wireless data
communications.

Jun Murai is one of the most distinguished researchers in the Internet
community. Murai is a professor at Keio University and the founder of the
Japanese WIDE Internet. Murai talks about his research projects, which
range from satellite-based IP multicasting to a massive testbed for mobile
computing at the Fujisawa campus of Keio University.

"The Future of the Internet Protocol"
Carl Malamud interviews Steve Deering, Bob Braden,
    Christian Huitema, Bob Hinden, Peter Ford, Steve Casner,
    Bernhard Stockman, and Noel Chiappa
Duration: 4 hours, ISBN: 1-56592-996-9, $24.95

The explosion of interest in the Internet is stressing what was originally
designed as a research and education network. The sheer number of users is
requiring new strategies for Internet address allocation; multimedia
applications are requiring greater bandwidth and strategies such as
"resource reservation" to provide synchronous end-to-end service.

In this series of eight interviews, Carl Malamud talks to some of the
researchers who are working to define how the underlying technology of the
Internet will need to evolve in order to meet the demands of the next five
to ten years.

Steve Deering is a member of the research staff at Xerox's Palo Alto
Research Center (PARC) and a prolific contributor to the Internet protocol
suite. Steve is the father of IP Multicasting, the basis of much of the
video and audio conferencing work done on the Internet. Steve is also
chair of the mobile IP working group in the IETF and an active participant
in the SIP work for a new version of IP.

Bob Braden is the Executive Director of the Internet Architecture Board and
a longtime participant in the Internet. Braden discusses the DARTNET
experimental network and research in the areas of resource reservation and
other topics related to his work in the End-To-End Research Group.

Christian Huitema is the new chair of the Internet Architecture Board.
Prior to taking on his bureaucratic burden, Christian was chair of the SIP
working group. SIP (Simple Internet Protocol) is one of the strong
participants in the race to become the next generation of IP. Christian
talks about the importance of simplicity in protocol design and gives a
unique perspective on issues such as policy routing, resource reservation,
and other key considerations at the network layer.

Bob Hinden is an active participant in the development of SIPP, considered
to be the leading candidate for the next generation of the IP protocol.
Hinden discusses how the SIPP developers are considering the issues of a
careful transition, support for multicasting and other leading edge
techniques, and how he sees SIPP being deployed into the Internet.

Peter Ford is one of the leaders of the TCP/UDP with Bigger Addresses
(TUBA) effort TUBA, based on the ISO Connectionless Network Service
(CLNS), is one of the candidates for the next generation of Internet
Protocol. Ford talks about TUBA and its relationship to other research
efforts in the Internet.

Steve Casner is an active participant in the work on a multicast backbone
and instrumental in setting up the IETF TV video multicasts of working
group meetings and technical presentations to the Internet. Casner talks
about the future of multicasting and audio/visual work on the Internet.

Craig Partridge is a noted networking researcher at BBN, currently focusing
on very high speed networking. Partridge discusses different data link
strategies for gigabit networking and how these technologies integrate
into the TCP/IP protocol suite.

Noel Chiappa, the architect of the Proteon router, is a researcher with a
long history of involvement in routing protocols. Chiappa explains why we
don't need a new Internet Protocol, how the Internet will replace the
telephone system, and how addresses can become complicated.

INTERNET TALK RADIO

Internet Talk Radio is an exciting demonstration of the power of the
Internet that has garnered international media attention.
Professionally-produced programs are distributed to networks in 30
countries, where they can be played on any workstation or PC equipped with
speakers and audio software. Since the programs are just data, they can be
ftp'd from well-known sites and played directly on the workstation, or the
files can be sent out in real-time over a campus network using the
revolutionary tools of IP multicasting. Internet Talk Radio allows the
listener to listen to a radio program at any time, not just when it is
broadcast. As the station says in one of its tag lines, "asynchronous
times require asynchronous radio!"

The initial programming on Internet Talk Radio is an interview program with
the tongue-in-cheek name of "Geek of the Week." Sponsored by O'Reilly &
Associates and Sun Microsystems, this program features interviews with
notable members of the Internet community. Many of these people
participate in working groups collectively known as the IETF, or Internet
Engineering Task Force. Now, through the "Geek of the Week" interviews,
listeners have a chance to get to know some of the key people who make the
Internet work, and who are guiding its future development.
