>Remember the internet, gps, modern telecom all came from government research, or some combination of public and private money but was only declassified 10-15 years after its invention and use.
It's true that a lot of the funding was from ARPA, but I believe that the vast majority of this research was published in standard academic venues. I know of no results in these fields that were classified at the time of discovery and released only 10-15 years later as you claim (but I'd love to see references if you have them!).
