Concurrent
with its continuous growth, the Internet has come to be recognized
as one of major socioeconomic infrastructures. At the same time,
however, various range of problems have also arisen.
These issues, which are of a social, economic and cultural
nature, differ considerably from rather technical problems
the Internet community has been confronting with to date.
We see the present times as an era of Internet revolution,
heading towards the birth of a 21st century style of social
system, and that it is imperative to seize this new challenge
so as to solve the problems that are now coming up to the surface.
To find the solutions to these Internet-related
socioeconomic and cultural issues we believe should pursue new
and serious approaches.
The Internet Society (ISOC) has already founded the Internet
Societal Task Force（ISTF ）, where these issues are globally
debated energetically around the clock.
In response to these activities, Japan also has voiced the
need for a private sector researching organization, timely providing
comprehensive solutions for the problems and taking primary
roll for the promotion of the Internet within Japan. |

In appreciation of these facts, we
now established the "Research Institute for Internet
Strategies, Inc. (RIIS)".
RIIS intends to set up a communications network to facilitate
cooperation with other Internet research agencies, allowing
mutual exchange and share of Internet research findings in every
domain. With full consideration and understanding of the tendency
drifting in the society, we create an environment that conducts
researches into every aspect of the relationship between the
Internet technologies and socioeconomic issues.
RIIS further conducts independent
Internet/society related researches and analysis for government
offices, private sectors, and individual
Internet ventures, as well as provide consulting and marketing
research services, based on the above surveys, to private
enterprises with a large variety
of solutions to problems for the next generation of the Internet
society. |
