Actually, this is what I have always been taught - that it was not the govt creating the Internet to maintain commo during a nuclear strike, but it was developed through DARPA funded research projects.

And in the History of its development, look at the timeline in the article at which point the Xerox PARC labs appear upon the scene.

And so it goes...
