merits of [the] Internet Protocol versus other network technologies

haven't taken over because they produce a brilliantly efficient network,
but because they together seem capable of creating a dynamic
openness for the network economy; this is because of, and not
despite, a simplicity and a lack of carrier-style attributes.
