researchers aren't just dreaming of a new Internet: they're building it.

An excerpt:
"Researchers at Stanford University are on a mission to completely
revamp the Internet. Plans for their multipart program, called the Clean
Slate Design for the Internet, will be presented to the public this
Wednesday at the school's annual Computer Forum. Ultimately, the
researchers hope to make the Internet safer, more transparent, and more
reliable by reconsidering both private and public networks."
