[ih] Fwd: Fw: Internet: 57 years later, what does Professor Kleinrock think of the his creation?

[Alexander McKenzie]

In addition to "Leonard Kleinrock and a team of scientists at UCLA" who
sent the first Host-to-Host messages over the ARPAnet (not the Internet) in
1969 it is reasonable to say that those who "gave life to" the ARPANET
include:
- the visionary thinkers at ARPA who came up with the idea and the funding
- the extraordinary engineers at Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc who produced
the working ARPAnet hardware and software in 9 months
- the collection of Principal Investigators and grad students at the many
computer science sites supported by ARPA who comprised the Network Working
Group which developed ideas for the practical use of the ARPAnet

Why must we continue to read accounts which try to give credit for this
astounding development to one man who was very much on the sidelines of the
actual work?
