Title: Time to Start Over?

The internet that is...

Check out this: Scrap the Internet (http://www.livescience.com/technology/070413_ap_new_internet.html)



From the article:
Quote
NEW YORK (AP) — Although it has already taken nearly four decades to get this far in building the Internet, some university researchers with the federal government's blessing want to scrap all that and start over.

 

The idea may seem unthinkable, even absurd, but many believe a “clean slate'' approach is the only way to truly address security, mobility and other challenges that have cropped up since UCLA professor Leonard Kleinrock helped supervise the first exchange of meaningless test data between two machines on Sept. 2, 1969.

I wonder if anyone asked Al Gore about this? ;)

Interesting article.  I've seen this written about before, but it'll be interesting to see how things eventually shake out.
