kudos:1 | Welll.... I sure hope... ... they aren't planning on trying to share THIS ol' internet with the worms and crackers for any kind of secret communications... as I understand things, this is an "extranet" for their own use. Makes sense to me. Who knows, they may stumble over something like DARPA did nearly forty years ago; remember, well into the seventies, very few in the private sector could imagine any use for an internetwork, at all, outside of corporate, government and academic environments... DARPA was certainly contemplating a useful technology beyond just the networking the military-industrial complex, but they sure weren't contemplating eBay or Amazon in 1969...
