信息高速公路是长远战略目标

Information Superhighway Is Long-Term Strategic Objective

沸沸扬扬的信息高速公路热仍在我国继续着,这表明中国期望抓住这一世纪之交的关键机遇,加速我国信息基础设施的建设,缩小与发达国家的差距。那么,美国为什么提出信息高速公路的动议?国家信息基础设施和信息高速公路究竟要达到什么目标?它们具有何种内在联系?发达国家与发展中国家实现NII这一长远战略目标将面临哪些挑战?如果我们能把这些问题探讨得深入一些,把握信息高速公路的内涵,既高瞻远嘱,又脚踏实地,我们的战略部署、决策和工作就会建立在科学和扎实的基础之上。 为此本刊特约近期访美归来的总蝙雷震洲先生对上述问题发表看法、阐述观点,以深化对信息高速公路这一课题的研讨。

The heated topic of Information Superhighway lasts for a long time in China, indicating that China hopes to embrace the critical opportunity in the turn of the century to accel-erate the construction of the national information infrastructure and catch up with the developed countries. And why is the motion of Information Superhighway raised in the USA? What are the objectives and internal relations of NII and Information Superhighway? What challenges will the developed and developing countries be confronted with to fulfill the long-term strategic objective for Nil implementation? An in-depth look into the matter and the profound understanding of the concept in addition to far-sightedness and practical efforts, will enhance the scientific and stable strategic deployment, decision-making and work. Hence, Mr. Lei Zhenzhou, the chiefeditor, who has just returned from the US is invited to air his view for deepening the discussion on Information Superhighway.
