Internet builders

Since the 25th anniversary of the first Brazilian national network, RNP recognizes teachers, academics and representatives of institutions that have contributed to the establishment of the internet in Brazil between 1988 and 1993. These personalities receive the Diploma of Builders of Internet.br. 

The delivery of the diplomas started at RNP 2017 Forum in Brasilia and continues to those, who could not attend the event. Thus, the intention of RNP is to show its gratitude for those, who made emergence and massification of the internet in the Brazilian society possible.

During the event, the following Internet.br Builders were honored:
