Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn on the future of the Internet
http://j.mp/1cDXKWd (New York Times)
"When Edward J. Snowden, the disaffected National Security Agency
contract employee, purloined tens of thousands of classified
documents from computers around the world, his actions - and their
still-reverberating consequences - heightened international
pressure to control the network that has increasingly become the
world's stage. At issue is the technical principle that is the
basis for the Internet, its "any-to-any" connectivity. That
capability has defined the technology ever since Vinton Cerf and
Robert Kahn sequestered themselves in the conference room of a
Palo Alto, Calif., hotel in 1973, with the task of interconnecting
computer networks for an elite group of scientists, engineers and
military personnel."
