Ubique Reticulus

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3292043.stm

Report on Vint Cerf's take on the past and the future of the InterNet. The fact that initiatives are underway for making telephone numbers a Net Address and creating a Naming Authority Pointer system which will allow an extensive expansion of the Net's address space beyond the DNS [for example, book ISDNs could become part of the address space] promises to increase the Net's ubiquity -- it really could reach the SF vision of an omnipresent environment in which we live, move, and have our being.

A direct quote from Cerf is, I think, a valuable corrective to some fulminations about Net content:

If you have the ivory tower view that the internet is good only if everything on it is good you are mistaken. ... The internet is a reflection of our society and that mirror is going to be reflecting what we see. If we do not like what we see in that mirror the problem is not to fix the mirror, we have to fix society.

Taken to a not-improbable extreme, this has the potential to be another of those iceberg tips about which I natter continuously.
