The Internet as we know it took 30 years to come to everybody, and it was
providing something that essentially wasn't provided before.
Internet2 provides the same thing, only faster; so why do we believe it will
replace the existing solution *EVER*, much less in a shorter time frame than
30 years?

on fixing it, not replacing it.
