Surely the ARPAnet wasn't created to create a demand as it were.

There's a key difference between ARPAnet and subsidized launches of
H2O however.

ARPANET was created to fulfill a specific and existing need. The

would otherwise be unable to get it, it does not fulfill and existing
needs - and is only useful are some arbitrary date in the future for
some hopeful uses.
