Hi Tom,

Concerns were raised by Vint Cerf, who originally coined the expression
- the informal credo of the Internet Society, back in 1999
http://www.isoc.org/isoc/media/speeches/foreveryone.shtml and codified
in 2002 in RFC3271 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3271.txt.

 My comment on your "nuclear" question I would point out that the
expression is *not* "The Internet is for everything".
