Vint Cerf: 'The Internet Is For Everyone'

Joel Rowbottom writes "Vint Cerf has written a damn fine RFC (3271), entitled 'The Internet Is For Everyone'. It's a good, well-balanced document which details the 'Internet Society's ideology' about the growth of the 'Net, where we can go now, and where we might be in some years' time. Worth a read."

I don't know which internet he uses...

[NoMoreNicksLeft]

But dammit, I wish it were the same one as mine!

1000 million?

[Kythorn]

1000 million? Is he waiting for 1024 million to call it a billion?

Except when....

[Aquitaine]

The Internet is for everyone except when it's just for Slashdot. (Poor, poor site...)

SpringTime

[noting the lack of comments}

Look! It's sunny out! It's warm outside!

I bet a lot of geeks are heading out into the Big Blue Room to enjoy the enhanced weather that is out there on the East coast right now.

The internet *is* for everyone...

[b1t r0t]

...until the site you want to use gets slashdotted. And right when I was just about to look up a different RFC (2321 FWIW), too.

whoa, there's an outside now?

Only on slashdot could that get modded "insightful"

New kind of proof

[Yarn]

We've had proof by example, intimidation, vigorous handwaving, cumbersome notation, exhaustion, obfuscation, picture, vehement assertion and appeal to intuition.

Now we have 'proof by reference to google'
