message: Was NSFNet physically connected to the ARPANET? -- Beland (talk) 17:48, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I believe so. There was a link to MILNET.  The ARPANET was in the process of going away as NSFNET was being created. Jeff Ogden (talk) 06:03, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

message: There needs to be either a section here or a new wiki page for the Regional Networks (before we lose everyone who still remembers them) 68.48.171.239 (talk) 12:40, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a new section on "Regional Networks". Right now it is just a list with names and where they were connected to NSFNET. It would be good to expand this, but I am not sure where to go to find the details.  Perhaps the e-mail archives at Merit? Or the LINKLETTER newsletters in the Hathi Trust digital library? Or is there an archive of material from FARNET (the Federation of American Research Networks) somewhere? Jeff Ogden (talk) 15:44, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Regional Networks

message: "True vision for the Internet"? Whose, exactly? What if someone's "true vision" is a network that only allows research, educational, or non-profit use? The wording makes it sound as lack of connectivity was all the fault of that mean old NSFNET getting in the way. What if those regulations served a legitimate purpose? Lothar76 (talk) 21:44, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: , I hope. I changed the wording a bit and hopefully the change will resolve any NPOV problem. If not, we can continue the discussion here. I also removed the "POV-section|date=November 2013" template. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 00:11, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

text: I don't think that the "mean old NSFNET" was to blame, but it was at the center of a controversy at the time. I do think that pretty much everyone wanted to allow commercial traffic in some fashion. The questions were about how to go about doing that, without violating the rules established by Congress for how NSF funds could be used and without diminishing the quality of the networking service that the Research and Education community had come to expect. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 00:11, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
