"Internet architect David Reed explains how bad science created the broadcast industry." Who is David Reed? "You may recognize him as the author of what's come to be known as Reed's Law -- which says the true value of a network isn't determined by the number of individual nodes it connects (Metcalfe's Law) but by the far higher number of groups it enables."
This is a fantastic article. Print it out, Repligo it to your Pocket PC, whatever. There are several interesting links in the article itself, like End-to-End Arguments In System Design, so print those out as well. Grab a hot cup of coffee, a large cup, and enjoy.
