Yesterday Lt. General Harry D. Raduege Jr (USAF, Ret), Chairman, Deloitte Center for Cyber Innovation, Director, Deloitte LLP spoke at the InfraGard Symposium on Cloud Computing and Virtualization and reminded us all that the cloud is the internet. Part of General Raduege's presentation was an interesting comparison on the growth of the internet since its youth at DARPA, its worldwide adaption, and the growth of and change of interests from ethical hacking to cyber crime, cyber terrorism, and warfare.

It was also interesting to hear him talk about the restoration of telecommunications after 9/11, and his admiration for the work that Howard Schmidt did during 9/11 - helping to restore the nation's telecommunications network and his work currently as Special Assistant to the President and Cybersecurity Coordinator. It was also interesting to hear the General speak about Bill Gates, John Chambers, and many other business leaders offering to give (for free) whatever it took to get the United States Telecommunications and Infrastructure online again.

He also quoted the Secretary of State's view on Internet Freedom.
"We stand for a single Internet, where all of humanity has equal access to knowledge and ideas"
"The freedom to connect is like the freedom of assembly in cyberspace." -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton,
