[Air-L] what sources do you use for a "history of the Internet"?

Here are my two favorite references about Internet history:
Abbate, J. (1999). Inventing the Internet. Cambridge (Mass.): The MIT
Press.
Salus, P. H. (1995). Casting the Net : from ARPANET to Internet and
Beyond. Reading, Mass.: Addison-Wesley Pub. Co.
The following is a shorter, interesting text reproduced in several
publications and languages; you will find some PDF versions of it
quite easily on the Web by searching its title:
King, J. L., Grinter, R. E., & Pickering, J. M. (1997). The
Rise and Fall of Netville: The Saga of a Cyberspace
Construction Boomtown in the Great Divide. In S. Kiesler (Ed.),
Culture of the Internet (pp. 3-33). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence
Erlbaum Associates.

Hello all,
I have run into this problem, yet again, and am still looking for a
solution. I'm writing a (very brief) history of the Internet for an
article.
I have the following sources, which a) seem outdated and b) not
sufficiently
scholarly.
Leiner, B. et al. 1997. ""The Past and Future History of the
Internet."
Communications of the ACM, February 1997.
Berners-Lee, Tim. 1998, "The World Wide Web: A Very Short Personal
History", Retrieved July 9, 2009, 2009 (
[1]http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/ShortHistory.html).
World Wide Web Consortium. 2007, "A Little History of the World
Wide Web",
Retrieved February 19, 2007 ([2] http://www.w3.org/History.html).
Can anyone point me in the direction of either more recent or more
scholarly
sources? I wrestle with using Wikipedia (as many have discussed on
this list
in the past). I would prefer, at the very least, a pre-press paper
from a
scholar.
Any help much appreciated.
