Vint Cerf, one of the inventors of the Internet, is now a consultant to the Pentagon on the project. "I want to make sure what we realize is vision and not hallucination," he told the Times. "This is sort of like Star Wars, where the policy was, 'Let's go out and build this system,' and technology lagged far behind," he said. "There's nothing wrong with having ambitious goals. You just need to temper them with physics and reality."
The Laws of Physics are always enforced, unfortunately. The GIG will not be an easy nut to crack.
BTW, I once heard that the term "Surfing the Net" was really "Cerfing the Net" as in Vint Cerf. Was I dreaming?
