    ...before legitimate commerical interests take old.

    After all, the first part of "Internet2" is "Internet".

    Won't it be great? Getting all those worms delivered at breakneck speeds?

      If your pr0n involves worms, you might want to keep it to yourself, as most of us do NOT want to know about it :p

    With InternetX deployed last August (2020), we can now surf the Internet Way Back Machine 4.0 by directly accessing web pages in the past. The only thing we have to over come is that we have to assign NATted TSC/IP addresses (also known as IPv32, 32 sets of 32bit strings) to address computers in the TSC (time space continuum). (Oh, I've already got my lawyers working in 2007 to cover patents on TSC/IP)

    Your puny Internet2 was relegated to serve up Paris Hilton news and 24/7 coverage of the Anna Nicole Clones Show on the White Trash Network (formerly known as FoxNews).
