> core technologies.  The Internet's Coming of Age provides
> an integrated discussion and analysis that is intended to
> help inform technical design, development, deployment,
> operation, and management decisions relevant to this
> evolving network of networks and to guide policy makers as

> Internet touches on, such as telecommunications regulation.
