        Really?

        Could you name the entity (and network) that you claim
        centrally controlled "the Internet" a decade ago?

        BTW, how accurate do you suppose the US Census Bureau data
        can be in regard to what homes/individuals have/do whatever,
        given that it collects its data every decade...?
