An architect’s view of Internet: 

An architect’s view of Internet It’s general, symmetric, a network ...no trees Control and operation of the network fully distributed, size, geography, & bandwidth scaleable It’s like the world-wide phone system...(1920 - Theodore Vail: One system, universal service for connecting anything, anywhere It’s like UNIBUS (c1970 -1985) for connecting computer components It’s like Ethernet (c1978 - ??) for connecting computers in a place It enables SNAP--a world, scaleable computer

Players who’d like to define infoway, cyberspace, etc.... CATV industry to deliver VOD and phones, paid for by company’s debt Telecoms to deliver CATV for VOD, paid for by our phone bills Long distance carriers who are beginning to see Internet as a market Congress or whoever buys them US... Internet 2.0 users: mousing around and evolving WWW/HTML/Mosaic etc.

The information superhighway is Internet 2.0, NOT: 

The information superhighway is Internet 2.0, NOT a legislated design what happens when CATV and Telco suppliers propose to Congress and gerrymander the market one-way, slow, asymmetrical , built as hybrid fiber-coax

Building Internet with 1-way streets, just like cable ... stop the backhoes! Telcos have adopted the CATV and mainframe/SNA model of centrality Their basic idea: skim from our phone bills and fund a CATV network... CATV was legislated to be two way, but has nil backchannel Enables: click to buy, start movie, or make a bet

Speculation NOT I don’t see it helping our economy... Necessity of bit police since bits is bits and bits are free, but carry intellectual property? Why do we need much of the post office? Can U.S. software engineers compete? what about other knowledge workers?

Internet & the Telecomputer replace the telephone: 

Internet & the Telecomputer replace the telephone Affordable network access & bandwidth must become available Telecomputers come in various sizes: 1995 prices decline 3x, 9x in 2000, 2005 $1,500 (1995) > $500(2000) >$160 (2005)

Summary: 

Summary Internet 1.0 laid the foundation ... it gave us mail Internet 2.0 is great ... allows for all kinds of commerce & interaction Internet 3.0 is needed if we want video & “being there” Let’s get the Telcos & Cable folks to build what we need. ... We’re paying for it anyway!
