| | NSFNET Backbone Decommissioned: NSFNET Program Takes Next Steps in Advancing Networking |
| | To establish the NSFNET Backbone, the proposal submitted by MERIT to the NSFNET Program was founded on the belief that a national research network is crucial for the future of scientific research in the United States. | | | Creation of the NSFNET Program spawned a new industry, encouraging the growth of electronic networks that collectively are known as the Internet. | | | The NSFNET Backbone service has been managed by Merit Network, Inc. since 1987 in partnership with IBM and MCI. |
