No one is more aware of the variety of strands that comprise Internet history than those who participated in its early development. Thus the indefinite article in this talk's title, as in our previous webcast <https://isoc.live/9734/> of the same name by Dave Farber. Scott gives a concise chronology and then, in the Q&A, expands on the current landscape.
