>By bringing research and academia together with technology leaders
from industry, government and the international community, Internet2
promotes collaboration and innovation that has a fundamental impact on
the future of the Internet. <
like Web 2.0, it sounds like BS.
No BS, but IMHO it is a scam by the academic-industrial complex to get
lots of research money from the Federal govt. I believe it is supposed
to be a ground-up redesign of the TCP/IP protocol suite that powers
the Internet, to support much faster speed backbones and quality of
service. It is a scam because "if it ain't broke, why fix it"?
But then the original ARPANET and the Human Genome Project to name
just two examples also were similar scams that did amount to something
in the end.. so who knows..
