Background on the Voices of Ethernet archive
The Voices of Ethernet archive was announced in 2021 and was made to showcase, discuss, and preserve significant milestones in Ethernet’s history through oral history. The archive consists of recorded interviews from creators, providers, and users in the industry whether they be “engaging personal accounts of pivotal events” or “major milestones that may have otherwise been forgotten or remain widely unknown”.
