What is the abbreviation for national information infrastructure? 

National Information Infrastructure

The National Information Infrastructure was the product of the High Performance Computing Act of 1991. It was a telecommunications policy buzzword, which was popularized during the Clinton Administration under the leadership of Vice-President Al Gore. It was a proposed, advanced, seamless web of public and private communications networks, interactive services, interoperable computer hardware and software, computers, databases, and consumer electronics to put vast amounts of information at users' fingertips. NII was to have included more than just the physical facilities used to transmit, store, process, and display voice, data, and images; it was also to encompass a wide range of interactive functions, user-tailored services, and multimedia databases that were interconnected in a technology-neutral manner that will favor no one industry over any other.
