Entries in the redefined Internet category ................................................... In this 15th year of the competition, the Internet section was expanded and given a whole new concept, in order to provide a platform in contrast to the discussions of e-commerce, start-ups and e-business, which are currently very one-sided. This platform is intended to enable presentations and discussions of the Internet in its cultural entirety. A team of 19 international top experts agreed to help achieve this. With 442 entries mailed in (a total of 700 registered online), there were more works submitted to the newly defined category Net Vision/Net Excellence than ever before. .................................................. 4.
