As TVR is meant to be the ultimate medium, it isn't obvious who should take the lead in design and implementation. We can identify the following possible major players:
|
DoD -- successful in the past (SIMNET/DIS), currently impeded in the post-coldwar era.
-
SIMNET/DIS model doesn't scale easily to the whole Cyberspace.
-
Current ARPA/DSI program addresses these issues.
|
|
Federal Government -- Global Village term coined and HPCC promoted by Clinton/Gore but --- do we have any government right now?
|
|
Telecommunication Industry --- major impetus in the broadband networking deployment plans 2 years ago, now slowed down as ATM complex and interactive markets unclear
|
|
World-Wide Web is the most vital force as of today, and within it the VRML forum and its VAG executive has the 'badge' for evolving the current Web towards the true Cyberspace.
