And i love that quote, because it suggests the existence of another - very slow, but very high troughput network, human to human, embedded device to embedded device. You could even go without centralized infrastructure there. Just the organisms formed by the devices ( a line of home-routers is a "street", a group of devices meeting every morning is a "bus" etc.) and the routing address is basically a "interaction" with data-organism map route-finding. No ISP involved anywhere. But your info still gets to the airport, hops on a cellphone and gets to the goal.
