I seriously doubt he started it...just because he was on a board that gave money doesn't mean he deserves any credit fori t.
The internet was started by the Military as a form of communication between themselves. It was originally intended to be so redundant that no part was completly depentant on another part. It was also originally designed to be able to withstand a nuclear strike that could take out all of the major communication centers and still have 100% communication between all other areas.
