Big Bell Dogma “I would say, ‘Please give us good data communications,’
and they would reply, ‘The United States is a copper mine –we have phone lines everywhere so use the telephonenetwork.’ I would counter, ‘But you don’t understand, it
takes twenty-five seconds to set up a call, you charge mefor a minimum three minutes, and all I want is to send
a millisecond of data.’ Their reply was, ‘Go away, children,the revenue stream from data communications is dwarfed
by that of our voice traffic.’ So the children went awayand created the Internet!”
