This system could be hosted by Google but be open to who you want. In other words, you could openly collaborate with clients, or co workers regardless of what system you are using – you could connect and read email with your PDA, schedule appointments with your laptop and even have a Google Talk VOIP conversation with your cell phone. The possibilities are endless.

And it is because of the American military that the Internet exists.
During the days of the cold war, the defense department was interested in developing a means of electronic communication which could survive an attack by being able to re-route itself around any failed section of the network.

AMSTERDAM -
A group of over 40 companies is
asking European governments to shell out billions of euros to
connect all homes to superfast fiber optic broadband cables,
the president of the fiber-to-the-home council said on Tuesday.
"We need to make an effort that will be somewhat similar in
ambition as the trans-European rail and road infrastructure,"
Hartwig Tauber said on the eve of a fiber optic conference in
Amsterdam, where the city government is mulling a proposal to
connect 40,000 homes with fiber.
Connecting homes with new fiber optic cables in many cases
will require that streets have to be dug up.
