To: Dave Farber <farber () cis upenn edu> cc: Hiromichi HASHIZUME <has () nii ac jp> From: Hiromichi HASHIZUME <has () nii ac jp> Today we are surprised! The evening edition of Asahi newspaper ran an article including your comment with your photo. Please see: http://webserv.rd.nacsis.ac.jp/~has/dave.gif The title of the article is: "The next generation Internet -- 2, Change of the cast in the play, From universities to industry." Your comment is in the bottom two columns of the article, following the preceeding text of a brief history of the Internet and the Internet 2 project. .... An executive of a big company which participates in the Internet 2 project gave us a comment: "We love this project, as we can test a product in it, whenever we want." At the same time, however, he said "frankly speaking, what we are interested in most is not the project itself, but the good researchers we can recruit." The FCC chief engineer Mr. David Farber said, "Industries are increasing investment to the Internet year by year for the survival. Universities cannot match the industries if they keep on the way they did before. There will be little hope for the Internet 2 project -- it will not be able to catch up the industries." .... a comment of Jun Murai follows, "virtually no universities (in the US) actually do Internet 2 research" .... .... majority members of ISOC belong to large companies .... "But the Internet industries are just extending what we developed in the universities before. They only have taken over the result," says Mr. Farber. "As long as they keep the latest development information open, it is very healthy condition."
