Profile
Dr. Segal played an important role as an Internet promoter, spearheading the introduction of IP into a hostile Europe when it was not politically correct or career-friendly to do so there.1984 to late 1988, Dr. Segal enabled the Web’s development by coordinating TCP/IP’s adoption within the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) when CERN changed its Internet policy. For CERN’s Internet developers, he was their first introduction to the IP stack and the Berkeley socket Application Programming Interface.
From 1986 Segal taught courses on Internet protocols, Unix and distributed computing in Europe, Asia and South America.

We always hoped that “connecting the world” would be possible with Internet technology, and that the spirit of openness and community could also solve problems in other fields.
We have connected the world, and now we need the “Internet spirit” to keep it a safe place.
