GENI To Replace Internet, Gets $12M Funding

Postglobalism writes "A massive project to redesign and rebuild the Internet from scratch is inching along with $12 million in government funding and donations of network capacity by two major research organizations. Many researchers want to rethink the Internet's underlying architecture, saying a 'clean-slate' approach is the only way to truly address security and other challenges that have cropped up since the Internet's birth in 1969."

Ok I understand the problems of our current set up

But seriously there are more pressing issues that could use that meager 12 million dollars. How about we cut the defense spending in half and invest it in alternative fuels? That way we won't need to milk other countries for oil. My super over simplified view of the world is entirely mine and no one else!
