Internet 2.0

Is this news to anyone else? Are they seriously considering building an entirely new internet? Is that even possible? I just stumbled across this in the WaPo today and was left scratching my head. Yes, this animal is big and bulky, but can it really be rebuilt?

I know because the Harvard Crimson had an article about several Boston-area students getting busted for exchanging DVD quality movies over the system. And you're right about its speed. Average time for a DVD-quality download - 30 seconds.

Name: Joker & Thief

Location: Boston/Paris

Somewhere beneath all the inane clichés that politicians and the media bandy about, there lies a true Franco-American relationship that stems from a deep appreciation and fascination with each other's language, culture and society. This is where we live, below the radar, exploring the mundane, finding pleasure in the details, and sharing our passion for another culture with our students. We are educators, teaching English in Paris and French in Boston. Trained and training at the Sorbonne and Harvard, respectively, we choose here to let our café conversation spill out onto the sidewalk. Others should feel free to eavesdrop or join the conversation through comments.
