Xerox 1974: Ethernet would be a failure

"Here’s a memo from a Xerox PARC (engineer, I presume), Robert Bachrach,
to Bob Metcalf and Dave Boggs suggesting that the Ethernet approach to

performance) because it’s based on an uncontrolled random transmission
timing, as opposed to a controlled, synchronous sharing of the transmission
medium."

copiers at PARC is the world's first Ethernet cable. In 1973, Bob Metcalfe se-
nt an internal memo to his colleagues at Xerox proposing a local system of
interacting workstations, files, and printers."
