What Ole said. For an idea of how big and internationally connected the
internet was by early 1986 - call it 2.5 years earlier, take a look at pages
118 and 119 of the proceedings of the 2nd IETF.

Nonsense. If the NSFnet was "a precursor to the Internet," then surely
so was the ARPANET. I used the ARPANET from Norway in 1976, Norway was
indeed the second country (after the UK) to join the ARPANET. The
"first international connection" was most certainly made long before
1988!

It was actually a Dutchman who made the first international
connection on November 17, 1988 that enabled the start of the
world wide web...
