A freebie from CERN

 

 

April 30, 1992 was a huge day in the Internet world. 

 

That’s the day that CERN (the physics lab in Geneva where World Wide Web creator Tim Berners-Lee worked) declared that the Web would be free for all to use.  If a royalty structure had been imposed (and it certainly could easily have been) the Internet would be a mere subset of the essential behemoth it has become today.
