[quote]NEW YORK - A government contractor that played a key role in the Internet's birth will oversee efforts to redesign the network from scratch.

The National Science Foundation announced Monday that BBN Technologies Inc. will get up to $10 million over four years to oversee the planning and design of the Global Environment for Network Innovations, or GENI.

Internet 2.0

The internet is too "free" for the powers that be and they have been planing internet 2.0 for quite some time. this doesn't mean that the old internet will go away...it will just be rendered obsolete as 2.0 will be faster and all businesses will slowly migrate to it. maybe Internet 2.0 IS the Beast!
