On the other hand, I had learned in the spring of 1973, from Jack Pugh
of M.I.T. (originator of DYNAMO continuous system simulation language, which
was specially designed for systems dynamics simulation) that Dr. Bolt, Chairman
of BBN and Pugh's neighbor told him about BBN's plan to establish a commercial
firm with packet-switching data communication services. This was realized
in 1976 with Larry Roberts as its President of Telenet (not telnet of TCP/IP
protocol, albeit both were confusing). Telenet was acquired by GTE to become
GTE/Telenet, which later became as Sprint. I helped their extension to
many overseas countries, especially to Japan -- more later.
