My reaction to a lot of the current situation that we're in is based in part on a serious concern that the present administration's course ignores reality.

By placing intelligence at the edges rather than control in the middle of the network, the Internet has created a platform for innovation.

Today we have 1 billion users on the Net. By 2010 we will have maybe 2 billion.

Their Internet usage is growing very rapidly, and even they can do the math: If everyone in China needed an IPv4 address - just one - this country would use up one third of the entire public IP address space.

The closer you look at something, the more complex it seems to be.

There's a tremendous amount of energy in Japan and, increasingly, in China.

If we do not like what we see in that mirror the problem is not to fix the mirror, we have to fix society.
