Tasks ranging from opening a new office to groveling for money have forced us to take a longer than usual break between our Summer and Fall/Winter seasons. We're pleased to announce a few developments (and even a few non-developments). We've opened a Capitol Hill studio in addition to our main facility in the National Press Building. The Capitol Hill studio is going to be the headquarters of RT-FM. Our goal is to have that operation going 24 hours per day by the end of January 1995. Stay tuned for more information, but expect a programming mix ranging from Monitor Radio to live congressional hearings and National Press Club luncheons to music. NASA has provided a T1 link into NSI into this facility and we've connected it to our Press Building headquarters with another T1 line. Our databases will continue to include the 1994 Patent and SEC documents, but we will be expanding that to include the Trademark database text and images. This database will include all historical data as well as the weekly feed of current information. A variety of other databases are being investigated. Our entire radio archives are now available on the Internet at: ftp://town.hall.org/radio/IMS Currently, we have only ftp access but will have a WWW and Gopher front end in place shortly. We haven't given up on our hope for more extensive mirror sites, for a "redirect page" to keep track of and point people to "closer" files, or other ways of decreasing the load on the Internet. Our regular season of audio programs will start back up on September 26. Before then, we will be covering the Networld+INTEROP Conference in Atlanta, gathering material for use in Internet University. Internet University will include webified versions of talks from conferences including the IETF, Usenix Symposium on High-Speed Networking, Cisco Networkers '94, and INTEROP. You'll be able to walk your way through the talks, look at the slides, and hear the audio. For a current example, check out: http://town.hall.org/university/security/stoll/cliff.html For those of you that haven't been looking, you might want to check out Web service which has drastically increased in the last few months: http://town.hall.org/ A few of the features include Monitor Radio, the French Embassy, a mirror of the Harvest databases, our coverage of conferences from Chicago to the Czeck Republic, and a few other subversive activities. Check out the authentic picture of snail livers in the Digital Deli. ;-)) The biggest non-event we're able to report is successfully avoiding bankruptcy. In July, the Internet Multicasting Service came very close to becoming a non-entity. Luckily, funding from our major sponsors (Sun, O'Reilly & Associates, Interop Company, and NASA) saved our proverbial skins. We're still in a *very* precarious financial position, but hope to be able to make it through the year and are hopeful that additional corporate sponsors will see the worth of a public cyberstation like ours. For the time being, we're well on our way to meeting our 1994 financial goal of making nothing and may even achieve our long-term goal of being worth nothing. The Internet Multicasting Service is made possible through support from Interop Company, NASA, Sun Microsystems, and O'Reilly & Associates with additional support from Cisco Systems, Harper Collins, Monitor Radio, Persoft, Tadpole Technology, and WAIS Inc. Network connectivity for the Internet Multicasting Service is provided by UUNET Technologies and MFS Datanet.
