If I Knew Then What I Know Now: Tales from the Early Internet

In a discussion between Paul Mockapetris (Inventor of DNS), David Conrad (CTO of ICANN) and Matthew Prince (Co-Founder & CEO, Cloudflare), the panelists discussed the current state of internet infrastructure, security concerns, and the future of internet governance. They expressed concern about the lack of innovation in internet infrastructure due to its complexity and the hesitancy to adopt new technologies like blockchain. The panelists also touched upon the issue of fragmentation of the internet, with countries like China imposing strict control over information flow. While they acknowledged that there is a risk of fragmentation, they believe that the value the internet brings will ensure its continued operation and growth.
