Unfortunately, I think Vint was a little optimistic there, and failed to guess at the impact the financial collapse was going to have on our rate of innovation and progress: "By 2008 we should have a well-functioning Earth-Mars network that serves as a nascent backbone of an inter- planetary system of Internets - InterPlaNet is a network of Internets!" He also seemed to miss one of the really, REALLY important points; if "Internet is for everyone" were really true, then IPv6 adoption should have been one of his driving points. After all with a world population of 7 billion, you certainly can't have "Internet [...] for everyone" with only 4 billion IP addresses, unless you put a *lot* of NAT in place. But on the whole, other than being a bit dated at this point, it's still an inspiring read. Matt
