Not this time cowboy.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet

"
The first TCP/IP-wide area network was made operational by January 1, 1983 
when all hosts on the ARPANET were switched over from the older NCP 
protocols to TCP/IP. In 1985, the United States' National Science Foundation 
(NSF) commissioned the construction of a university 56 kilobit/second 
network backbone using computers called "fuzzballs" by their inventor, David 
Mills. The following year, NSF sponsored the development of a higher speed 
1.5 megabit/second backbone that become the NSFNet. A key decision to use 
the DARPA TCP/IP protocols was made by Dennis Jennings, then in charge of 
the Supercomputer program at NSF."
