Chriet Titulaer and the future of Internet

A very popular scientist in the Netherlands was interviewed by Koen van Santvoord about his life as an often consulted space expert:  http://www.koentext.nl/art/carp-titulaer.pdf (published in Carp, date of publication unknown). According to an interview in WAVE 1996 above mentioned interview must be dated before 1995, for he regretted his mistake about the future of internet.

Carp interview:
Titulaer:

'Internet is here to stay. But it is not being used. Only large companies are still present'. ('Internet is er gewoon gekomen. Maar het wordt niet gebruikt. Alleen de grote bedrijven zitten nog op internet.')

WAVE interview:
Titulaer:

'Internet is one of my biggest mistakes during my career. I never saw that the use of it would be booming, especially by businesses.' ('Internet is één van mijn grootste missers in mijn carrière. Ik heb nooit ingezien dat het gebruik door met name bedrijven zo'n vlucht zou nemen.')

Not to blame Chriet Titulaer, for I was a big fan of his interviews in the nineties.
And, what about Microsoft? Before 1994 they also underestimated the importance of internet, while other companies already made their start with browsers, like NCSA.
