Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, has launched the ‘World Wide Web Foundation’ to study how the web works and to help expand Internet access to those currently going without.

With $5 million in initial funding from the Knight Foundation, the World Wide Web Foundation will focus on three key areas:

1. Web science and research;
2. Web technology and practice; and
3. Web for Society
