==BBN and ARPANET==
The ARPANET was a project of the [[IPTO]] funded by the Defense Advance Research Agency ([[DARPA]]) which evolved as the internet today. The plan for the ARPANET was developed by Licklider during his tenure as Director of the agency from 1962 to 1964. Licklider envisioned a universal network.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_licklider.htm J.C.R. Licklider And The Universal Network]</ref> Inspired by this vision, his successors [[Ivan Sutherland]] and [[Robert Taylor]] both served as IPTO director and [[Lawrence Roberts]] who served as ARPANET program manager pushed for the development of wide area communications network.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_roberts.htm Lawrence Roberts Manages The ARPANET Program]</ref> In 1969, IPTO awarded BBN the contract to develop Interface Message Processors for 140 companies. The BBN team was led by Frank Heart  with [[Boh Kahn]], a communications theoretician expert in error control and identifying problems related with sending data over the telephone lines; '''Dave Walden''', a programmer expert in real time systems; '''Bernie Cosell''', a debugger; '''Severo Ornstein'', hardware expert; and '''Will Crowther''', a programmer expert in creating complex code.<ref>[http://www.bbn.com/about/timeline/arpanet The Arpanet Forerunner of Today's Internet]</ref>
