Exaggerated claims?

[edit]

Recent changes to the article include some claims that are not supported by the cited sources and which I feel are untrue. Specifically:

MichNet, the NSFNET regional network in Michigan operated by Merit where I worked as Associate Director, had connections to the research centers at GM, Ford, and Chrysler at about this time. Hard to say which was first.
  • As part of the NSFNET backbone, SURAnet was the first regional network to become operational.[1]
MichNet has been operational since the early 1970s and supported TCP/IP starting in the 1980s.

I will edit these items to tone them down a bit until someone can provide some definitive third-party references to support the claims. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 05:20, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
