The Internet Society is changing the location of its 2013 Internet Hall of Fame awards ceremony, scheduled to take place on June 26 in Istanbul, Turkey. The decision comes as a result of the increasingly unstable situation in that region that has resulted from recent protests. Inductees will be announced on June 26, as planned, but the awards ceremony will take place at a later date, in a location yet to be determined.
