No, sorry, that was the "Super Highway". The internet and the Super Highway are two different things. The internet is current today, the Super Highway was suppose to be a Commercial Internet controlled by the government.

But important, of course.
Sun presumably need to either stop their storage offerings from being a bad joke (and make some money from the Storagetek acquisition) or bite the bullet and give up on storage. So they're doing the right thing I think. It's pretty clear that it's doomed (apart from anything aren't they busy encouraging us all to use a filesystem which thrives on cheap-as-chips commodity storage? How does this tie in?) so in relatively short order they will (if rational) write off the whole storage line I guess, except for ZFS-friendly JBODs.

Yes, like that. Thats why he gave up. The internet was growing to fast. I for one, would oppose a closed internet for my subscription. If they want a closed internet, have it separate, then try and convince people to go for it.
