Internet submission

 More than 100 radar defense sites across the country, thereby establishing one of the first large-scale wide-area computer networks. This had a great influence on a lot of people who worked on the program, including Licklider, who later became the first Director of the IPTO and initiated the research that led to creation of the ARPANET. Most importantly, instead of having to hand over punched cards to an operator and wait days for a printed response from the computer, Licklider could program the PDP-1 directly on paper tape, even stopping it and changing the tape when required, and view the results directly on a display screen in real-time long before internet directories crap directories. The PDP-1 was the first interactive computer. Baran's architecture was well designed to survive a nuclear conflict, and helped to convince the US Military that wide area digital computer networks were a promising technology. In 1966, DARPA head Charlie Hertzfeld promised Taylor a million dollars for the IPTO to build a distributed communications network if he could get it organized. Taylor was impressed by Roberts work, and asked him to come on board to led the effort. Roberts presented a paper called Multiple Computer Networks and Intercomputer Communication that summarized the ARPANET plan at the ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, in October 1967.

Thereby opening the Internet network clean internet submission architecture from the very beginning. Kahn had experience with the Interface Message Processor, and Cerf had experience with the Network Control Protocol, making them the perfect team to create what became TCP/IP. Different companies, starting the protocol on its way to become a commercial standard. By July 1, 1988, a much faster 1.5 Mbps network had been established for communication between the original supercomputing centers, plus seven additional research networks: BARRNet, Merit, MIDnet, NCAR, NorthWestNet, SESQUINET, SURAnet, and Westnet.
