I heard him say the same thing last year, when we in the media happened to listen to him in Bangalore.

Vinton Cerf said the proposed interplanetary Internet would allow people an ability "to access information and to control experiments taking place far away" from Earth. Expanding into the solar system would bring new rules and regulations too, he told an annual Seoul forum, saying he and other experts were working on a set of standards designed to guide space-era Internet communications. "Finally, the Internet can take us where no network has gone before," said Cerf, who is Google's vice president and chief internet evangelist. He said, he and a team of engineers at the California-based Jet Propulsion laboratory would complete a key part of the project - establishing standards for space communications like those for Internet - in three years. Cerf told a separate news conference that new standards were needed because of the huge distances and time delays involved in communication across space. He went on, "This effort is now bearing fruit and is on track to be space qualified and standardised in the 2010 time frame. "Eventually we will accumulate an interplanetary backbone to assist robotic and manned missions with robust communication." Cerf, seen as a founding father of the Internet with Robert Kahn, marveled at its explosive growth in the last decade, saying it was a trend that would continue. - Agencies Get the freedom to save as many mails as you wish.
