Today five years ago, the NGI Zero coalition went live with a clear mission: to make a better internet for everyone. A mission that by its nature is a collaborative effort which is why we have a distributed approach to fixing the internet. We invite anyone who has a good plan to develop fundamentally better technologies to come and “work for the internet”. And over these five years many have done so. Next week the 500thNGI0 project will start its important work.
