The context of the above is, of course, sarcastic. But it reminded me of a quote that once appeared on mailing list that is germane to this. The quote was uttered in 1824 or so, by the inventor of the telegraph. The quote lamented that the funding needed to deploy an innovative concept was held by the folks that were the most threatened by innovation - i.e., they made money with out the latest new fangled thing so whatever the new fangled thing did, it was sure to be a threat to their current income stream.Are there some down-sides? Sure. But who really needs the end-to-end principle or uncontrolled innovation.
Does anyone know this quote?
