IEEE-Madison Webinar: “Internet Infrastructure -- Fungible Packets Everywhere”


SEE the ZOOM LINK below for this meeting..

 

Talk:  “Internet Infrastructure -- Fungible Packets Everywhere" -- The Internet Infrastructure evolved over many years starting with per-line connected  dial-ups.  The talk discusses the history of technical evolution of the internet and how many things were discovered that "experts" thought were not technically feasible, such as VoIP.  It is time to examine the structure and replace the "rent to never own" infrastructure with a lower cost, more flexible "Fungible Packets Everywhere" approach. 

Bob Frankston discusses the history of technological development along with the regulatory environment and how that biased the internet evolution.  He argues that companies selling "service" are not in a position to offer the lowest cost connectivity. By switching to a fungible packet infrastructure where the actual connecting technology can be dynamically changed he predicts we will reach a lower cost and more reliable internet. 

Speaker: Bob Frankston is best known for implementing VisiCalc (https://rmf.vc/VisiCalc), the first electronic spreadsheet and enabling home networking (while at Microsoft). Throughout his career he has sought to share the power of software with others by creating enabling technologies. He is currently on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society and writes a column for their magazine.
