Given its popularity and widespread use, it is easy to forget that at one time

Today, commercial interests shape the Internet’s continued development.
In fact, as far back as 2001, a report from the National Research Council
pointed to the ossification of the Internet, both intellectually (pressure for
compatibility with current standards stifles innovation) and in terms of the
infrastructure itself (it is nearly impossible for researchers to affect the core
infrastructure). The report went on to observe that, at the same time, a whole
new set of challenges were emerging that may require a fresh approach. The
dilemma, according to the report, is that
