We had no idea that this would turn into a global and public infrastructure.

Movie distribution may very well have migrated fully to digital form by then, making a huge dent in the need to print film and physically distribute content.

Yet in all those cases I finally steeled myself to seize the opportunity, and find a way to muddle through and eventually conclude that I had, in fact, chosen the right path, as risky as it seemed at the time.

I'm projecting somewhere between 100 million and 200 million computers on the Net by the end of December 2000, and about 300 million users by that same time.

What is special about VOIP is that it's just another thing you can do on the Internet, whereas it is the only thing - or nearly the only thing with the exception of the dial-up modem and fax - that you can do on the public switched telephone network.

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.

But what we all have to learn is that we can't do everything ourselves.

First of all, in terms of investment in Internet-related developments, venture capitalists - once burned - are now very cautious and are investing in areas that actually make business sense.

The Internet lives where anyone can access it.

In the larger companies, you have this tendency to get top-down direction.

In a small company, you often see a lot more of what goes on in a broader range of things. And that's good.

There has been a substitution of ideology for fact and scientific and engineering data in this administration.

There was something amazingly enticing about programming.

Although I've had several major career changes, I was extremely hesitant about making some of them.

There is an underlying, fundamental reliance on the Internet, which continues to grow in the number of users, country penetration and both fixed and wireless broadband access.

We will have more Internet, larger numbers of users, more mobile access, more speed, more things online and more appliances we can control over the Internet.

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.

The hackers dont want to destroy the network. They want to keep it running so they can keep making money from it.
