Editorialby Raúl EcheberríaWhile statistics say that these days the Internet has surpassed the barrier of 100 million websites, LACNIC celebrated a new anniversary, its fourth since opening our first offices in Montevideo, Uruguay.
This anniversary is very special, as it coincides with the celebration of the beginning of the maturity process of several Latin American organizations related to the Internet that were created a few years ago with a difference of barely a few months.
In 2004 we hosted the meeting of two sister organizations, CLARA and LACTLD, in Montevideo, Uruguay, thus marking the beginning and consolidation of Latin American Internet organizations. It was at this time that through a process of regional consensus CLARA and LACTLD chose as their permanent headquarters the city of Montevideo.
In each edition of LACNIC’s Newslwtter, our quarterly publication, we report activities, projects and the advances in the services that LACNIC provides to its members and to the community. Produced by LACNIC’s staff, we wish, by this mean, to reach all people who are part of the Internet community in Latin America and the Caribbean to share experiences of management of the information and knowledge and to dive in the wealth of collective intelligence. Information, reports, technological proposals, news and technological innovations from all the region, and the other four Regional Internet Registries (RIR), that offer their services in the different regions of the world, are detailed in each edition.

The history of Internet in El Salvadorby Rafael Antonio Ibarra Fernández
Internet in Peruby Jose SorianoMore than one third of the world population uses mobile telephones and 15.6% connects to the Internet. But how are we doing in Peru? In the beautiful city of Geneva, Switzerland, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) made public a report titled “Information Economy” containing data on the development of the Internet and new technologies around the world.
The Importance of Montevideoby Rafael Antonio Ibarra FernándezAlthough we all recognize the need exists, it is not usual for private entities of our Latin American countries to seek formal organization through associations that pursue similar objectives and have members, bylaws, fees, executive councils, elections, relationships with similar entities around the world, and regularly scheduled events among their activities.
