[Chapter-delegates] Vint Cerf speaks to Churchhill Club at SRI, Menlo Park

[Sivasubramanian Muthusamy]

Hello Annalisa,

Is there a full transcript of Vint Cerf's Churchill Club speech posted
somewhere on the web? I couldn't find that on the churchill club web.

( Yesterday I came across an ABC video of an interview by Vint Cerf and have
posted it in our Chapter blog
http://isocmadras.blogspot.com/2010/01/where-is-internet-headed-vint-cerf-on.html

Wonder if this interview also took place at the Churchill Club. )
