(Also features Brewster Kahle showing WAIS and Whit Diffie showing PKE.) There's also a 1995 program featuring Eric Schmidt, plus the rep for the then-white house, and the official spokespuppet for the cable industry, all talking about the "nightmare scenario" of how "only 2 or 3 major operators" would *never* dominate the industry thus the "inconceivable" need for net neutrality regulation. Eric called it right on the mark, even in retrospect. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4963482402269220136&hl=en http://www.archive.org/details/sunergy_12_01_24_1995 (That program also features Marshall Rose and me talking about ecommerce transactions and even a brief screen showing what the first facility on the net that took money from strangers looked like. :) Regards, Carl P.S. If any of your readers have early VHS or BETACAM (or even film or audiotape) of net history events or net historical figures doing something, I'd be more than happy to digitize it and place it on the Internet Archive. It is amazing how little of the record remains for things 2 decades ago or even more recent events and people. ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
