Carl Malamud is the founder of the Internet Multicasting Service, an Internet cyberstation that injects over hundreds of megabytes daily of multimedia data into the Internet.

His vision for a 1996 World's Fair occuring completely and exclusively on the Internet at World Wide Web sites seems a natural evolution for the person that pioneered audio broadcasts on the Internet. In 1993, he began interviewing other techno-wizards and producing these session for release over the Internet. Internet Talk Radio features audio programs such as "Geek of the Week", "National Press Club Luncheons", "Congressional Hearings" and other special events. The Internet Multicasting Service is known for a wide range of innovative projects like an on-line Santa Claus, free access to SEC and Patent databases and acting as secretariat for the Internet Phone Company. At his web site, http://town.hall.org, there are over 300 hours of audio available.

At CHEP `95, he presented a model where computing for the next millennium will be different. A global village structure can be formed which connects buildings, parks, schools, museums and other public facilities. He also discussed the underway infrastructure projects which include the Internet Railroad and the Internet 1996 World Exposition, a world's fair for the information age. The fair is intended to last one year and present events as they occur in real time throughout the year. Each participating country in the fair will have its own electronic pavilion, showcasing its particular features and customs.

His recent activities have focused on traversing the world, recruiting participants in the 1996 World's Fair and evangelizing for freedom on the net. Never daunted, he pursues new visions for cyberstations throughout the world. Malamud is the author of seven professional reference books including "Exploring the Internet" (Prentice Hall, 1993) and the three-volume series "Analyzing Networks" (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1991-1992).
