"In June of 1992, the Together Foundation unveiled a beta version of TogetherNet at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the "Earth Summit" or "Rio Summit"). The TogetherNet pavilion hosted an estimated 15,000 visitors from around the world during the two-week conference. Feedback from Earth Summit resulted in significant improvements to the TogetherNet system. The testing phase of TogetherNet was completed in early 1994, and has been available to the public worldwide since April of 1994. " [1]
