"CCN" - The Next Internet? (+ my comments)
http://j.mp/MhM8fP (Xconomy)
"The Internet may be hurtling toward collapse under the strain of too
much traffic. But PARC research fellow Van Jacobson thinks he knows
how to fix it."

One potentially major issue with this concept is that in the real
world, we do tend to use the source of data as a key aspect of
determining its authenticity. We may not care (nor even have an easy
way to determine) which Google datacenter a file is coming from, but
we know it's coming from Google. The CCN concept (which is always
going to expand as Campus Computing Network for me -- the name of the
main IT operation at UCLA when I was there) includes an authenticity
element in the formal names of content, but this leaves the question
of how such names are specified by actual searching users -- who may
be faced with a plethora of results that in actuality could be very
different, but still technically authentic from the standpoint of the
CCN environment. Would CCN tend to mask or de-emphasize the
visibility of source information for ordinary users? Even if source
information were obvious, would most users be in a position to
immediately determine whether or not they trusted that particular
source? Many questions.
