b) GTB-Süd/Berlin: number of universities and research institutions primarily in Bavaria and Berlin;- since July `98: 3 x 2.5 Gbps;- great diversity of projects (network technology - video prod.
- medical data visualisation - meta computing - distributed learning) http://www.dfn.de/projekte/gigabit/home.html
TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999
SURFnet - GigaPort Project: GigaNet: - backbone development started in ´99;
- 2.5 Gbps connections to be increased to 80 Gbps by 2002;- customer connections at 155 Mbps in ´99, to be increased to 20 Gbps by end of 2002;
Giga Works: applications in:- 3-dimensional simulation,- tele-cooperation and teleconsultation,- high-speed home-based teleworking and teleteaching,- international teleconsultation and data analysis- E-commerce

TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999
TEN-155: core running at 155Mbps,
spurs at 34/45 Mbps and less; contract with Unisource Belgium for 3 years:
expected end ~ Dec. 2001 (?); expected upgrade to 622 Mbps until then, vision of Gigabit network afterwards; cost for 3 year period: 120 M; EC funds (QUANTUM project) for 18 months: 20 M

Gigabit Networking in Europe:
So there seems to be a realistic chance to find a supplier, but would we be able to afford it?
TERENA-NORDUnet Networking Conference, Lund University, 7 - 10 June 1999
Funding Issues (1):
TEN-155 costs for 3 years: 120 M i.e. 40 M/yr• EC contribution (QUANTUM): 20 Mfor 18 mths• remaining costs borne by NRENs
Total costs for 18 months: 60 MEC: 20 M, NRENs: 40 M Ratio: 33% : 66%
