Um, actually, I would say that in all of those cases, including ARPANET =
when it existed, you are
dealing with a government sponsored network rather than a government run =
network.

Generally, in each of those cases, the government provides some or all =
of the money to keep
the network going, but, has very little to do with dictating policy or =
operational aspects of the
network.
