My first introduction to somebody at DARPA other than Bob Kahn and Steve Crocker was Craig. So it was fairly early on, I think by 1973, I was under contract to carry out the INTERNET research work.
we absolutely wanted to bring data communications to the field, which is what the packet radio project and the packet satellite projects were about [...].
