Maybe to some degree. But it was the government's DOD-DARPA program that developed the internet protocol. The unleashing of this technology into the "free enterprise" world has been the real exciting part. Imagine how long it would take if only one company was in control of innovation for the internet? =;-)

And do you remember how the Internet was only used for email, ftp, and gopher before the government got out of the way and removed the ban on using the Internet for commercial purposes?
