Nemertes has made similar calls for governments to fund the growth of the net.
Greetings,
Thank you for covering our Study. Nemertes research is independent and we never make a call for government to fund the growth of the ‘Net. We do say that governments will need to be involved, especially to solve the challenges of IPv4 address exhaust, as discussed in this year’s Study. Thank you for posting the link to our Study and we welcome any questions from you or your readers.
Thank you!
