That's not even that bad of a quote. The worst is how he was using the Internet as an example of government making something useful, when privatization is what turned it from a fancy mail system between colleges to the most versatile and important tool in all of history. The Internet is the ultimate expression of the free market, and proves that it can work globally without government involvement. Even amidst all this controversy surrounding the potential censorship of the Internet by governments, he uses this example.
I think his point is that the the backbone of the internet was literally invented by the government. They provided the canvas that all those private interests who came later painted upon.
