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 of Education 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
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 to use by research and education institutions.
• Public-private partnerships involving government, universities and private sector are needed
5
New Public-Private Partnerships Needed
• 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
6
IEEAF Objectives
•Act to insure enhance educational access to bandwidth for educational institutions and their academic, research and services/outreach needs.
•Promote Partnerships with government/private entities/ educational institutions to distribute education content across networks, nations,and on a truly global basis
•Promote and/or operate a low cost reliable repository of access and network resources and information to achieve these capabilities for educational purposes
•Perform Asset Management for the Foundation, its members and associates on a global basis for educational purposes

IEEAF Strategies
To achieve the vision of IEEAF, we intend to create frameworks and alliances between University and other educational leadership groups, industry and political/governmental leaders. Methods of helping IEEAF include donations of physical facilities (co-location and riser space), equipment, licenses to "rights of way","dark fiber" or conduits at selected points of build-out of the US and global fiber-optical network, or “wave-lengths”. Such donations will be a principal means of connectivity and linkage for educational institutions to conduct teaching and learning.

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

CENIC-GEO MOU led to IEEAF
• GEO will donate real estate• 15K sq.ft. in each of two new International
carrier hotels (Hayward/CA, MD/DC)• 200 sq.ft. in each of other facilities
• GEO will get business partners (wet fiber/dry fiber/equipment/etc.) to donate as part of business negotiations

Netherlands Example: Project “Glasbak”
• New cable landing: Eemshaven (near Groningen)• New telecom carrier hotel: Groningen
• Zernicke Research Park adjacent to University of Groningen
• Groningen Internet Exchange (GNIX)• New fiber backhaul to major Internet exchanges
• Essent Kabelcom• Amsterdam to Groningen to Hamburg + additional Europe
The IEEAF has no boundaries of “home” territory…..
Its mission is a global family -- the Global Quilt fabric
