"Copy Exactly." Hmm.. doesn't sound like the Internet to me. Then again, it may be that the Internet's changing.

Or, is INTC possibly in for a rude awakening? All of the NAPs are different, as are all of the nation's 6,500+ ISPs. Is INTC out to tame the 'net? I wish them luck. Actually, they will very likely avoid the issue entirely, in principle, and employ bypasses in order to enhance their ability to standardize across all centers. This is becoming very fashionable. But what does it do to the goal of aachieving a single inter-netnetworking scheme with universal reach?

...and here's a press release about an Intel customer win, the first one I've seen (although it comes from the customer, not INTC):

"Onset Technology Announces Hosting Agreement With Intel Online Services"

(OT)

By the way, in that story you posted:

"capable of holding 10,000 computer servers, the brawny machines that act as traffic cops for the Internet"

Ouch! Terrible metaphor. Some of these news writers are stil pretty clueless about the tech.
