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."

Nice ideas. Too bad they would make the world come crashing down around America's ears. Our leadership has completely pissed off so much of the world, that if we cut our defense spending NOW, we'd be welcoming our new Chinese or Middle-Eastern overlords within our lifetimes. I'm not saying that we can't cut it later on, but it'll take DECADES to fix the problems that that Bush & Bush & Company have created for us.
