:Actually, researchers are doing exactly what researchers should be doing and what they have always done. There are a lot of theses that are conceived every year that look great on paper but will never be funded or ever thought about again.
Some of the concepts dreamt about may work their way into future network upgrades, but the likelihood of a full out Internet rebuild isn't going to happen due to numerous reasons, of which $$ is the obvious one.
I dunno... The current TCP/IP based IPv4 Internet subsumed a number of competing networking standards over the decades. Were someone to come up with something that was sufficiently superior, then TCP/IP would be replaced too.
