  1. Internet2 Douglas Van HouwelingPresident & CEO, University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID) Advanced Internet Venture Fund 19 January 2000

  2. Yesterday’s Internet • Thousands of users • Remote login, file transfer • Interconnect mainframe computers • Applications capitalize on underlying technology

  3. Today’s Internet • Millions of users • Web, email, low-quality audio & video • Interconnect personal computers and servers • Applications adapt to underlying technology

  4. Tomorrow’s Internet • Billions of users and devices • Convergence of today’s applications with multimedia (telephony, video-conference, HDTV) • Interconnect personal computers, servers, and imbedded computers • New technologies enable unanticipated applications (and create new challenges)

  5. Why Internet2? • The Internet was not designed for: • Millions of users • Congestion • Multimedia • Real time interaction • But, only the Internet can: • Accommodate explosive growth • Enable convergence of information work, mass media, and human collaboration • Internet2 is focused on theInternet’s potential for our future

  6. Innovating to Close the Gap More hype technological potential Performance reality gap actualperformance Less Time

  7. What Is Internet2? A project of the university community working with our corporate colleagues and government to close the gap between the potential and reality of the Internet

  8. Why University Leadership? • The Internet came from the higher research university community • Stanford -- the Internet protocols • NSFNet -- the scaled-up Internet • CERN -- The WWW protocols • University of Illinois -- The Web browser • Research universities require an advanced Internet and have demonstrated they can develop it

  9. Internet Development Spiral Commercialization Privatization ANS/Core PSI MichNet Today’s Internet AOL UUNet SURANet InternetMCI NYSERNet Intelligent Networks GigaBit Testbeds ARPANet NSFNet NGI MBone Internet2 Research and Partnerships Development

  10. The Use of Information Technology • Computing Technology Now Used Heavily for Information Access, Sharing • Group Work Can Be Flexibly Interwoven with Individual Work • Network Infrastructure Can Overcome: • Organizational boundaries • Distance • Time
