"Is Big Business destroying the Internet?"
Keynote speech by Bill Thompson
Chaired by Dr Richard Barbrook

Bill Thompson is a new media pioneer whose main
interests lie in the crossover between technology and culture. He has
worked in IT as a programmer, consultant, trainer and now as a writer
and journalist. Bill has been involved with the Internet since 1986
- "when you could read all of USENET each day and having an email
address on your business card was radical."

Spinning in the bar were DJs Pye (Paris), Smart Monkey
(Free Radical Sounds) and Simon Smugg (Smugg Records & The Bays);
while VJs Sancho Plan and The iRiealists mixed their live visualisations.
