Hello, world!

11th November 2014


Hello and welcome to the Nominet R&D blog. Using our experience of building and running one of the largest internet registries in the world, it is our job to keep our finger on the pulse of the latest developments in the world of tech.

It is a truly fascinating time to be working in this space; the internet is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in its history, with the number of devices connected to the internet expected to double by 2020. At the same time the way we use the internet is fundamentally changing, with machines, rather than humans set to both generate and consume more data on the internet in the future, while cyber threats continue to threaten the integrity of the internet and the systems built on it. To enable us to adapt to these changes we have pulled together a highly skilled team with a diverse range of talents, who are researching new technologies that will enable the internet to continue to be a secure, trustworthy and flourishing place.

We will use this blog to post updates on our various research projects, places we have visited, people we have met plus anything else that has caught our eye. If you are looking for a way of keeping up to date with what the R&D team is up to, you have come to the right place.
