Huston: Another 10 years later

Worth a read: Geoff Huston'swriteup of how the net has evolved over the last ten years and where itmay be going. "Perhaps this increased resistance to change isbecause as the size of the network increases, its inertial mass alsoincreases. We used to quote Metcalf's Law to each other, reciting themantra that the value of a network increases in proportion to the square ofthe number of users. A related observation appears to be that a network'sinherent resistance to change, or inertial mass, is also directly relatedto the square of the number of users as well."
