Interview: 'Java and Jini will be in everything'
Sun's Chief Strategy Officer comments on the future of networking, Java, and Y2K
April 1999
San Francisco (April 9, 1999) -- In the decade to come, end users will no longer use their PCs as their main way of accessing the Internet. Instead they'll be tapping into the Net through their cell phones, their fridges, their televisions, and their cars. They'll be surrounded by a wide range of Internet-related devices, many of them bearing the Jini logo.
This is part of Sun Microsystems's vision, according to the company's Chief Strategy Officer Bill Raduchel, who is also a member of Sun's executive committee. He heads up the vendor's planning and development efforts, including all mergers and acquisitions. It was Raduchel who signed on Sun's behalf the three-way agreement with America Online and its latest purchase, Netscape Communications Corp.
