Looks like this article has made some waves on blogs all over. I took it as more of a design philosophy of the Internet, but of course, someone has to pay the bills for the “stupid network,” and pay for all the Cisco gear in the datacenters. One response on the finer points of this is Marc Canter’s analysis. There are louder, less conciliatory ones, too.
One interesting point on the whole thing that some out there have started to talk about: just how fast a meme can propagate now with weblogs. Is personal publishing really about to take over scooping events, at least online? It’s certainly starting to augment the traditional news media.
