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

The Internet lives where anyone can access it.

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 remarkable social impact and economic success of the Internet is in many ways directly attributable to the architectural characteristics that were part of its design. The Internet was designed with no gatekeepers over new content or services.

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

The Internet reflects the societies in which we live, and so the content on the Net and some of the abuses that you see on the Net are reflections of that.

Power corrupts, and PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.
