Our aims are to provide all necessary means at our disposal for the effective dissemination of content on radio, the Internet and any media in general. Today the association is acting also as a technology mediator or facilitator, to enable our members and end-users to make full use of the recent developments of technology and media, including broadcasting and the Internet. In this context NEXUS-IB
A is currently working on a large scale European project (DEMOS: http://www.demos-project.org) on e-democracy, and is exploring several areas of exploitation of the DEMOS technology for its end user base, as well as for the media industry, and local, national and international government use. To fulfill its aims NEXUS-IBA also offers several networking and consulting services to medium and large organizations as an International Internet Service Provider, and is involved in training programs aimed to teachers and parents on the role of emerging technologies. People working for NEXUS-IBA are professionals, teachers, University professors and researchers, journalists, students and engineers, some of them devoting their spare time and resources as a public service to the global community. On June 15, 1995, NEXUS-International Broadcasting Association was officially approved for association with the Department of Public Information of the United Nations, and for the last 20 years has been actively working in promoting the work and activities of both UN and UNESCO. NEXUS-IBA created and maintains a Content Delivery Network (CDN) in Europe and the USA created with an internally developed Internet technology called "WorldDirector", where several Internet related services and applications are delivered to end users, fast and reliably, including streaming audio and video. As of 1990 NEXUS-International Broadcasting Association has been officially chartered as a strictly non-profit organization in accordance with Italian law. This means that all of our financial resources are channeled directly into maintaining and developing our technical facilities and consulting infrastructure. This assures NEXUS-IBA's members and non-members alike the very lowest service rates possible.
