The Cornerstone of the Information Society is Education and Research

• Universities and colleges are key to providing the ‘human infrastructure’ necessary for any country to participate in the global information society

• They train and educate the young people that are needed to create, operate and maintain the technical infrastructure and applications.

• They create the base for innovation and entrepreneurship

3

Strengthen the Cornerstone by Enabling Bandwidth

• Most universities and colleges in developing countries are severely crippled by totally inadequate bandwidth and connectivity to their colleagues and sister institutions around the country and around the world

• Public policy and initiatives for the Information Society should start with the universities and colleges and recognize their importance for overall economic development.

4

Goal: Pervasive Global CyberInfrastructure

US NSF CyberInfrastructure Panel recommendation:• establish and lead a large-scale, interagency, and

internationally coordinated Advanced CyberInfrastructure Program (ACP)

• to create, deploy, and apply cyberinfrastructure in ways that radically empower all scientific and engineering research and allied education

• to achieve critical mass and to leverage the coordinated co-investment from other federal agencies, universities, industry, and international sources necessary to empower a revolution.

• to reduce opportunities lost through continuing and increased fragmentation and balkanization of the research communities.

5

New Public-Private Partnerships Needed• Global telecomm build-out of technical infrastructure

provides new possibilities for economic development• Current market conditions have resulted in great capacities

which are currently going unused -- cannot be sold.• As a matter of social responsibility, this unused capacity

could be made available for stimulating future applications and markets -- by donation for use by research and education institutions.

• Public-private partnerships involving government, universities and private sector are needed

6

New Public-Private Partnership: IEEAF

• The IEEAF represents one such partnership whose goal is to obtain donations of international bandwidth to enable a global collaboration in research and education

• Current donations have already linked US and Europe, and will soon link US and Asia-Pacific

7

IEEAF Vision: The Global Quilt

A Network of Networks fabric, “stitched together” through collaboration and community effort, until it covers the globe

The IEEAF has no boundaries of “home” territory…..

"Non Nobis Solo" (Not by ourselves alone)

EC/GEANT Strategies

Exploiting the “cooperative model”as a global model to advance global networking for our collective benefit is a challenge worth pursuing!!!

Spyros Konidaris. European Commission 21 February 2002

IEEAF - What is it?

• U.S. 501.c.3 Not-for-profit corporation• Formed from original MOU between GEO and CENIC

(Corporation for Educational Networking in California)

• Vision: Accelerate the global growth of Internet2 to achieve "universal educational access” to:• Enable and stimulate the rapid expansion of research and

educational collaboration in many forms between teaching and learning institutions around the world.

• Cultivate and promote practical solutions to delivering scalable, universally available and equitable access to suitable bandwidth and necessary network resources in support of these collaborations.

IEEAF OrganizationHonest Broker Group (IEEAF)

• Accepting assets

• Matching Corp assets w/Educational needs

• Advocate for assets on behalf of Education

• Granting of assets as Free Use licenses

11

IEEAF - How does it work?

• Partner with various organizations on strategies, specific initiatives

• Leverage global deregulation and new entrants into telco business

• Leverage private sector business relationships• Geographic Network Affiliates, Inc. (GEO)

• Build donations into business deals (contracts) as no-cost IRUs

12

GEO builds carrier hotel buildings and supports the IEEA Foundation goals which include helping to solve the digital divide.
