ICFA=International Committee on Future Accelerators
Sponsored by the Particles and Fields Commission of IUPAP
SCIC• Standing Committee on Inter-regional Connectivity
(SCIC)• Charge:
– Make recommendations to ICFA concerning the connectivity between America, Asia and Europe. As part of the process of developing these recommendations, the committee should monitor traffic, keep track of technology developments, periodically review forecasts of future bandwidth needs, and provide early warning of potential problems.

Managed by DANTE
• Contracts Q2/3, operational Q4 2005 (to end 2007)
• Exploring collaborations with existing and planned initiatives
• Recently added monitoring station in South Africa (TENET)
• Note we now cover most (31) countries with many tertiary education centers (83% pop)
From S. Africa
Satellites vs Terrestrial• Terrestrial links via SAT3 & SEAMEW (Mediterranean)• Terrestrial not available to all within countries
ZA Connectivity• Connections are often indirect
– Costly, wastes Intl bw
