Honestly, It won't happen anytime soon. People want to scrap the internet and start over from scratch, since it wasn't designed to do what it does now. In my opinion, it's a good idea on paper, but it'll take much more to implement. The only way the "new Internet" will take over will be to get buisness and large corporations and governments to sign up and then mirror the already existing internet, until it can be slowly phased out. And even then, it will be a while before that can happen. Just like any change nowadays.

The Internet by definiton is an network of networks.
Internetworking is the process of connecting many different types of networks together. The Internet really never did this, rather it extended its network standards to everywhere.
The next generation of networking will internetwork with the Internet. That is, certain communities of users will use the next generation protocols to achieve higher levels of service, security etc but still connect to the broad Internet system.
Over time, the new systems may replace the old ones, so that people using older computer systems may not have access to the new protocols and so access to only some of the services.
It is a bit like mobile phones. I can use my old pulse home phone (with a dial, not numbers) to call someone with a 3G mobile phone. But of course I can't video conference with them.

If Microsoft were to have a controlling interest in the internet I , among many thousand others , would bail out.
Anything to do with Microsoft comes with a price , both in $$$ and also in restricting your activity and rights.
Big reason why I ditched his crappy Windows O/S and moved across to Linux - I can do anything I want with it without any restrictions at all.
