Annalisa,<br>
<br>
Thank you for a great write-up.<br>
<br>
I think my heart rate went up as I read it. I could really sense your<br>
excitement and Dr. Cerf's as he gave his vision of where the Internet can<br>
take us in the future.<br>
<br>
I would be really curious if Dr. Cerf has jumped on the bandwagon where<br>
people send hundreds of billions of SMS text messages daily. I have been<br>
fortunate enough to avoid, however, in the new job that I start on January<br>
25, 2010, I think it may become unavoidable.<br>
<br>
Thanks, again!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
