Yes, I checked out the site, downloaded the articles, and I'll be reading them this weekend. It's strange that Cerf, one of the father's of the Internet (TCP/IP development I think?) actually has a doomsday approach to the Internet. I mean, I can see that there will be problems, but why in the world shouldn't we be optimistic enough to think that we can solve the up and coming problems. I would think the microprocessor law - Moore's law - will be more difficult to keep going once the chips get small enough. But even with this problem, I have quite more reason to suspect a breakthrough than terminating technological progress altogether. By the way, I noticed that your profile says you have a PhD from MIT. Did you ever bump into Metcalfe at MIT yourself? Sounds like you might possibly have been there at same times.... joe
