[governance] Happy Birthday to all of you on 25 years of the Internet

[Mueller, Milton L]

It’s 35 years. The RFC standardizing Internet Protocol was published in 1981 (October I think), and implementation, as Louis points out, started in the next ensuing years. I’ve always felt it was erroneous for people to equate the “birth” of the Internet with the birth of the ARPANET because ARPANET did not use the Internet protocols but NCP.

Quite right. The migration from NCP to TCP in 1983 is usually associated with Arpanet retirement and Internet birth.

Let me be the first spoilsport to point out that
the Internet is much older than 25 years, and is
much more than just www, but I applaud the spirit...
