I see in today's SF Chronicle that Cisco is one of the promoters
of the Internet-II project along with Stanford, other universities

Unrelated but see above the support of Cisco, Sprint etc.

The same article quoted someone at EFF that there is no need
for a new Internet as the current one can be made faster by using
cable modems. Hmmm..
