For those of a younger generation this clip is how the Internet as we knew it started in the UK. Just think about what you have got know compared to how we, of a certain age, had it back when we were younger.

What interested me is how much the USA dominated the nascent Internet (commercially at least as we know it started with the ARPANET back in 1969) and how far behind the curve the UK was, and to someextent still is. Supply sideeconomics anyone!!!
