Internet 2 Will Deploy Ahead of Schedule

And Dave Winer has been put in charge of Internet v.1. Very entertaining read:

“Dave will own Internet 1, and all sites therein. Dave will immediately be granted root access to all servers, and will be allowed to decide who can be on his Internet, and what they will be allowed to say. As a provision of this grant, Dave understands that he not be allowed on Internet 2 at all.”

“It was all we could do”, Berners-Lee continued in an exclusive interview . “We’ve be trying to get rid of this guy longer than Bush has been hunting for Bin Laden, but he just won’t go away. We finally decided that we’d all just leave instead.”

Thanks to one of my readers (who didn’t give his name, and I’m not about share his email address) for the submission.
