@[email protected] A bit misleading. ARPANET had been dual stacking NCP and TCP/IP for a few years. The only switch that happened Jan. 1, 1983 is NCP was switched off for most hosts. Nothing got switched on or switched over.
Having this day be the Internet's birthday makes no sense. Hell, official RFC's had already been using the name "Internet" for years.
And this quote is complete bullshit: "Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other."
