Internet-is-going-
to-go-away-in-favor-of-usage-based-and-more-reliable-Intranets Metcalfe hypothesis while simultaneously attempting to, um, arouse, the reader's interest... To understand that last in-joke you'll have to read the
article. And in watching Avi respond to a network event, Gilder got to see that, in addition to all the technological advances he highlights, it is *people* who keep the net running and people who will prevent its collapse. He also got to see that IP purists like Avi and alt.religion.atm apostles like me can in fact find a common ground which works to the net's benefit. -- Jim Browning - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
