Summary
The emergence of the Internet as both The Networkand The Servicehas occurred
because of its technical excellence with deep roots in research and academia.
The Internet standards are based on interoperable implementations and oper-
ational experience. The resulting global connectivity between machines and
humans at the edge of the network has proven to be a true historical engine for
innovation and a driver for the global economy.References
