re: A few Notes
1) The internet was developed with government sponsorship not as a private initiative.
Without doubt, the foundation of the internet was the backbone developed by DARPA and the NSF, but one could hardly say the current state of the internet was the result of any central government or bureacratic plan. In fact, the current internet is about as "planned" as a rain forest.
And, had ARPANET never happened, the private sector would have come up with something eventually.
