RE: Rising sea levels are going to mess with the internet

["Naslund, Steve" <SNaslund () medline com>]

In 2000 the network runs on completely different infrastructure than it did in 1900 (what little network existed).  By 
2100 I am pretty sure we will be on different infrastructure by then.  Are you saying there will be no changes in 
network topology to account for that?  By 2100 neither you or I will have to worry about it in any case unless you know 
of a more major breakthrough in the near future.
