If by "fully implement" you mean "make it accessible to every Joe Somebody like the Internet 1 is", then I hope never. The original internet was intended for science and education, then AOL arrived and now it's filled with Viagra and Paris Hilton videos. Let's hope we learned from our mistakes and leave this Internet2 alone, out of commercial reach.
