As the epitome of a capitalist commons, the Internet, according to the critics' predictions, will collapse, clogged with traffic and polluted with porn and violence. MOORE'S LAW vs. THE SPEED OF LIGHT: The Laws of the Microcosm no longer suffice to predict the future of information technology Moderator: George Gilder, President, Gilder Technology Group Speakers: Leonard Kleinrock, Professor, Technology Transfer Institute Carver Mead, Professor, CalTech David A. Patterson, Professor, Computer Science, UC Berkeley Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO, Novell, Inc. 10:00 am - 12:00pm 8:40 am - 10:00 am MOORE'S LAW vs. MORON'S LAW: The Capitol Hill picadors may be giving the bull its last rights Moderator: Rich Karlgaard, Editor, Forbes ASAP Speakers: *The Honorable Bill Bradley, former U.S. Senator (NJ) Steve Forbes, President & CEO, Forbes Inc., Editor-in-Chief, FORBES Magazine Peter Huber, Senior Fellow, The Manhattan Institute *The Honorable John McCain, U.S. Senator (Al) If conventional resources are becoming more abundant, what is becom ing the ruling scarcity of the information era? Is it information? Hardly. The information glut has become a ruling cliche. Is it the electromagnetic spectrum? So one might suppose from the analogies prevailing on Capitol Hill, where senators gasp we are running out of air. At the FCC, they speak of spectrum as a "precious natural resource" and compare it to real estate or "beachfront property". No, from DC to daylight, and on to the cosmic rays beyond, spectrum is essentially infinite. Americans will rue the day their leaders termed it a natural resource, subject to regulation and taxes.

With the Internet emerging as the central nervous system of global capitalism, the Luddite left burst into "flames" against the microcosm and telecosm, against inter-linked computers and the global radiance of electromagnetic communications. * Pending Confirmation .., ._ •• _ ... - ... ~~r. -- -••••• ---•• 6 FREE TIME COCKTAIL RECEPTION DINNER AND KEYNOTE ADDRESSES WAVES OVER WIRES: To thrive in the telecosmic era, imagine that bandwidth is free!

The idea persists that wireless and fiber bypass telephony are expensive supplements to the existing copper colossus rather than deadly rivals to it. The installed base of twisted-pair wire still appears to many to be a barrier to entry for new competitors in the local loop, rather than a barrier to RBOC entry into modern communications markets. The conven tional wisdom sees the electromagnetic spectrum as a scarce resource. Few believe that it will soon emerge as a cheaper and better alternative to the local loop, in the same way that microwave and fiber emerged as a cheaper and better substitute for copper long-distance wires. THE DEATH OF TELEPHONY: The new world will be defined by two domains: the fibersphere and the atmosphere Luncheon Address METCALFE'S LAW Speaker: Robert Metcalfe, Vice President, Technology, International Data Group 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm 2:00pm -3:30pm THE INTERNET REPLACES TELEVISION: I'm mad as hell, I've all the bandwidth I need, and I'm not going to take it anymore Moderator: Eric Nee, Silicon Valley Bureau Manager, FORBES Magazine Speakers: George Gilder, President, Gilder Technology Group Milo Medin, Vice President, @Home Network Michael Medved, Author and Columnist Nathan Myhrvold, Chief Technology Officer, Executive Committee Microsoft Corporation With microchips and fiber optics eroding the logic of centralized institu tions, networks of personal computers are indeed overthrowing CBS, NTI; and EEC. But as the great pyramids of the broadcast and industrial eras break apart, new fear and anxieties arise about the future. If the center cannot hold, what rough beast, shuffling its slow thighs, slouches toward Hollywood, to be born again in gigabytes - and gigadollars - on the information superhighway? 12:30pm - 1:30pm The speed of light is the most basic constraint in information technology. As a key limit, the speed of light shapes the future architectures and topologies of computers and communications. The light-speed limit dictates that the fastest computers will tend to be the smallest computers. These small supercomputers will be distributed across the globe. Light speed imposes limits on the pace of anyone processor or conduit, and pushes both computer and communications technologies into increasingly parallel and redundant architectures.

I 'j 10:00 am - 10:30 am COFFEE BREAK 9 10:30 am - 12:00pm ORBITAL FUTURE: Satellite networks solve the dilemma of the last mile Moderator: Eric Nee, Silicon Valley Bureau Chief, Forbes Magazine Speakers: Tom Freeburg, Vice President, and Officer of the Technical Staff, Motorola Russell Daggatt, President, Teledesic Ming Louie, Vice President, Globalstar Andrew Viterbi, Vice Chairman and CTO, Qualcomm Satellite systems can provide global coverage at once. Whether for $9 billion or $90 billion, no terrestrial system will cover the entire world, or even the entire U.S., in the next ten years. Orbital technology will pro foundly change the geography or typography of the globe. Suddenly, the most rural redoubt, beach, or mountain will command computer commu nications comparable to urban corporations today. Orbital technology can make teleconferencing, telecommuting, telemedicine, and teleschooling . ( possible anywhere. This expansion of the communications frontier will foster the very economic i: '" development that will fuel the demand for the service. Today it does not pay to bring telecommunications to poor countries that might benefit most. Satellite services break the bottleneck of development. Simultaneously opening the entire world, it enriches every nation with new capital exceeding the fruits of all the foreign aid programs of the era. *Michael Milken, The Milken Institute for Job and Capital Formation Allen Salmasi, Chairman, President and CEO, NextWave Telecommunications, Inc. In essence, the law of the microcosm is now potentially converging with the law of the telecosm, which ordains that the value and performance of a network rise apace with the square of the increase in the number and power of computers linked on it. As these forces fuse, the world of computers and communications can ride an exponential rocket. Today's opportunities exceed even the gains of the 1980's. This heightened pace of change creates a desperate need for visionary new investment and restructuring. Freed-up capital - flowing into a new communications infrastructure, into venture funds and into restructuring campaigns - can endow entrepreneurs with the power to align their companies with the converging microcosm and telecosm, the most potent forces in the history of technology. FORBES EVENING LOUNGE BREAKFAST ----I 10:30pm - Midnight 7:00 am - 8:00 am Tuesday, September 16, 1997 Alex Mandl, Chairman and CEO, Teligent Don Steinbrecher, former presid 'lit. Steinbrecher Company Andrew Viterbi, Vice Chairman and CTO, Qualcomm Today, the telecosm of modern communications brings decisively to thtl fore the wave side of the quantum duality. Wires may seem more solid and reliable than air. But the distinction is largely spurious. In proportion to the size of its nucleus, an atom in a copper wire is as empty as the solar system is in proportion to the size of the sun. The atmosphere \lnd wires are alternative media, and to the electron or photon are only arbi· trarily distinguishable. Whether insulated by air or by plastic, both off~1' resistance, capacitance, inductance, noise and interference. In thinking about communications, the concept of solidity is mostly a distraction. n,t) essence of new devices emerges more and more as manifestations of waves. 8:00 am - 8:30 am KEYNOTE ADDRESS THE PREDATOR'S BALL Keynote Speaker: *Michael Milken, The Milken Institute for Job and Capital Formation 8:30am -10:00am MONEY AND THE MICROCOSM: A"$2 trillion oppor tunity" depends on emancipating resources trapped in obsolete structures Moderator: Anthony B.

The 21st Century will leave all these determinist fantasies behind. It will be seen that science, technology, and capitalism all stand interde pendently on the same moral foundations. With the unleashing of a global spiral of growth and progress, a new cultural era is at hand. Resisted by the obsolescent media and academy - from broadcast televi sion to establishment universities - this new era will offer a feast of ironies along with its new economic and intellectual achievements. The true vision of the 21st Century will become prevalent in a rich and expan sive culture, spread around the globe by the Internet. 8:00 pm - 10:00pm 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm 5:00pm - 7:00 pm • 2:00 pm - 3:00pm WILL JAVA PREVAIL?

John Patrick, Vice President, Internet Technology, IBM Kim Polese, President and CEO, Marimba, Inc. *Ted Schlein, Head of Java Fund, Kleiner Perkins Microsoft Representative, TBA Internet people know that cross-platform robustness is the very heart of the Internet Paradigm. Java is a platform created for the new world of the net. You do not have to trust anyone to use it. The Internet requires you to step out of the Office 97 into a heterogeneous jungle, where by the end of the year there will be some 20 million computers that have upgraded to non-Microsoft operating systems since January 1996.

As the epitome ofa capitalist commons, the Internet, according to the critics' predictions, will collapse, clogged with traffic and polluted with porn and violence. Beyond the usual ohms ofpractical executives, the new paradigm ofthe net aroused the resistance ofthe usual suspects. With the Internet emerging as the centnd nervous system ofglobal capitalism, the Luddite left burst into "flames" against the microcosm and tc1ecosm, against inter-linked computers and the global radiance ofelectromagnetic communications. Meanwhile, despite globally spreadingjobs and riches springing from high technology, psucdoeconomists pmttle endlessly about the growing gap between the "information rich" and the "information poor". ~T.::b:.:.e...;:;1~99~7~G~i1=d:.!er.~fF~O~RB~E;::,:;S~T;:;.e:::l=ec::.:o:.::;s=m::..;C~o:.:D==fi~ere:.=D:.::.C=-e 2 (Working Agenda as of616197) 10:30 PM - MIDNIGHT FORBES EVENING WUNGE 06/11/97 14:32 FAX 4132740213 06/11/97 14:32 FAX 4132740213 GTG GROUP INC 1aI04 .:.T-=b=-e.:.l.::.:99~7:...G~il=d:.:er,:.:.,;fF:..O~RB=.:E:.::S~T~el:.=.;ec~os~m:...;C;:;:;.o:.:D=fj~eJ'l::.;:e_D_C_.e 3 (Working Agenda u of6/6191) 7:00 AM -1:00 AM BREAIQI'AST 1:00 AM-I:IO AM WELCOME AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS KEYNOTE SPEAKER Steve Forbes, President & CEO, Forbes Inc., Editor-in-ebiet: Forbes Magazine Modcntor: Rich Karlgaard, Editor, Forbes ASAP SpeUen: *The Honorable BiD Bradley, former U.S. Senator(NJ) Steve Forbes, .President & CEO.

McCain, U.S. Senator (AZ) Ifconventional resources are becoming more abundant, what is becoming the ruling SC8Icity ofthe information era? Is it information? Hardly. The iDfonnation glut has become a ruling cliche. Is it the electromagnetic spectrum? So one might suppose from the analogies prevailing on Capital Hill, where scoators gasp we arc running outofair. At the FCC, they speak ofspectrum as a "precious natural resouroe" and compare it to real estate or "beach fi'ont property". No, from DC to daylight, and on to the cosmic rays beyond, spectrum is essentially infinite. Americans will rue the day their leaders termed it a natnraI resource, subject to regulation and taxes. • Pending Confinnation 06/11/97 14:32 FAX 4132740213 ..

Professor, Computer Scicoce, UC Berkeley Eric Schmidt, CbainDan and CEO, Novell, Inc. The speed ofligbt is the most basic constraint in infonoation technology. As a key limit, the speed of light shapes the future architectures and topologies ofcomputers and comnuuUcations. The light-speed limit dictates that the fastest computers will tend to be the smallest computers. These small supen:omputcrs will be distributed across the globe. Light speed imposes limits on the pace ofany one processor or conduit, and pushes both computer and communications technologies into increasingly parallel and redundant architectures. 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Luncbeon Address Speaker: Robert Metcalfe, Columnist, Infoworld Moderator: Erie Nee, Silicon Valley Bureau Manager, FORBES Magazine Speaken: George Gilder, President, Gildec Technology Group MOo Media, Vice President, @Home Network Michael Medved N.tbaa Myluvold, Group Vice President, Applications and Content, Microsoft Corporation With microchips and fiber optics eroding the logjc ofcentralized institutious, netwmks ofpenonal 06/11/97 14:32 FAX 4132740213 GTG GROUP INC 1aI06 The 1997 GilderlFORBES Teleeosm Conference 5 (Working Agenda as of6l6l97) computers an: indeed overthrowing CBS.

The idea persists that wireless and fiber bypass telephony are expensive supplements to the existing copper colossus I3ther than deadly rivals to it The installed base oftwisted-pair wire still appears to many to be a barrier to entry for new competitors in the local loop, rather than a barrier to RBOC entry into modem communications marlccts. The conventional wisdom sees the electromagnetic spectrum as a scarce resource. Few believe that it will soon emerge as a cheaper and better alternative to the local loop, in the same way that miaowave and fiber emerged as a d1eapeI" and better substitute for copper long-distance wires. 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM JlREETIME 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM COCKTAa RECEPTION I:OOPM-IO:OO PM DINNER AND KEYNOTE ADDR.ESST.S Keynote Speaker: A1ex Mandl, CbaiDD8D and CEO, Associated Communications 06/11/97 14:32 FAX 4132740213 GTG GROUP INC 1aI07 .:T..:::b~e..:l;:;.99::..7~G:.::iI=d=er::.:.1F:..O~RB==E::.:S::..T..:..:.:el~ee~o~s;:m=-C.:.:.:oD=fl:.:.e=.;:ft_D;,;:;C __ e 6 (Working Agenda as of6l6Jf.J7) Moderator: RkhanI Karlgaanl, Editor, FORBES ASAP .~..

Wiresmay seem more solid and reliable than air. But the distinction is largely spurious. In proportion to the size ofits nucleus, an atom in a copper wire is as empty as the solar~stemis in proportion to the size ofthe sun.. 'The atmosphere and wires am alternative media. and to the electron or photon are only arbitrarily distinguishable. Wbetber insulatOO by air orby plastic, both offer resistance, capacitance, inductance, noise and interference. In thjnking about communications, the concept ofsolidity is mostly a distraction.

In essence, the law of the microoosm is now potentially OOtlverging with the law of the telecosm, which ordains that the value and performance ofa network rise apace with the square ofthe increase in the nmnber aud power ofcomputers linked on it As these forces fuse, the world ofcomputers and eommunications can ride an exponential rocket.
