from conventional thinking about network capacity and purpose.

Dear Sepp,

the ideas of Bob Frankston, on 'abolishing pipes', make a lot of sense, I
wonder if you could present them to our readers?

It was good talking to you at ContactCon.

 

I happened across your old post asking for comments on future of the
Internet. 

 

I go into these issues in my various writings but it may be too radical for
your audience since I don’t accept the idea of a network as anything more
than an emergent property. Instead I start with relationships and factor out
exchanging bits as a plumbing issue.

 

You might be interested in http://rmf.vc/ThinkingOutsideThePipe as well as
the longer essays I point to. In http://rmf.vc/AmbientConnectivity I provide
a framing focused on enabling applications rather than the networking
itself.

 

The limitations of the Internet are solved not by engineering a solution to
each one but by a dynamic process. I first started writing about that in
1997 when I wrote a chapter about the limits of Moore’s law –
http://rmf.vc/BeyondLimits.
