What are the biggest challenges facing the internet’s growth and stability, and how should they be tackled? How will the rapid rise of video affect internet infrastructure and drive the net neutrality debate? Will the pursuit of ever more personal information by companies such as Google be welcomed by users?
Vinton Cerf is one of the most influential people in the industry. Often described as an internet ”founding father,” he played a key role in the network’s birth and evolution, in particular by co-developing the TCP/IP protocol that is its basis.
Today Prof Cerf is vice-president and chief internet evangelist at Google and chairman of the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann), the internet governance body. His knowledge ranges across technical, policy and business issues around the internet.
Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson, the FT’s Media Editor, put a selection of readers’ questions to Prof Cerf in a video interview. View the interview.
