BBC NEWS | Technology | What the net did next

The internet is set to become the basis for just about every form of communication, according to net pioneer Vint Cerf:

"You are going to see a fairly dramatic increase in services riding on top of basic internet infrastructure," he said, "You will see more and more layers of functionality showing up in the net."

One of the original innovators who designed TCP/IP the fundamental communication protocol of the web, Vint offers a fairly standard industry view of where the web is taking us, but interesting nevertheless in that it gets across some of the true potential of the internet - worth a little read!
