Quote of the Year

Couldn't leave 2012 without kudos to Vint Cerf for his classic statement (in reaction to the UN's ITU and WCIT 2012)--

Bitter struggle over Internet regulation to dominate global summit | Reuters: "Google's Vint Cerf, the ordinarily diplomatic co-author of the basic protocol for Internet data, denounced the proposed new rules as hopeless efforts by some governments and state-controlled telecom authorities to assert their power.
"These persistent attempts are just evidence that this breed of dinosaurs, with their pea-sized brains, hasn't figured out that they are dead yet, because the signal hasn't traveled up their long necks," Cerf told Reuters.""
Well said Vint. Well said.
