Mountain View (CA) - A team of engineers at California’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory says standards for widespread space communications will be ready within three years.

Google vice president and ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) chair Vinton Cerf is one of the people pushing for the galactic system.

“Finally, the Internet can take us where no network has gone before,” said Cerf in a press conference, according to an Associated Press quote. “This effort is now bearing fruit and is on track to be space qualified and standardized in the 2010 time frame.”
