IEEAF UpdateAugust 26, 2003 David Lassner Treasurer, IEEAF (www.ieeaf.org) Chief Information Officer University of Hawaii david@hawaii.edu
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 • We need more synergy and leverage from our currently fragmented investments.
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 as of this meeting, are linking US and Asia-Pacific (HDTV Demo)
"Non Nobis Solo" (Not by ourselves alone) 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…..
IEEAF - What is it? • U.S. 501.c.3 Not-for-profit corporation http://www.ieeaf.org/ • 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 Organization • Honest 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
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
GEO builds carrier hotel buildings and supports the IEEA Foundation goals which include helping to solve the digital divide. + Universities GEO - The Catalyst Government “The Need” Terrestrial Fiber “The Dry” Submarine Fiber “The Wet”
IEEAF - What does it do? • Gets donated communications assets • Makes them available to existing institutions and networking organizations to put to work • Vehicle: Asset Steward Agreement
Think Globally – Act Locally Strategic Opportunistic
Successes: The Netherlands Model • New cable landing: Eemshaven • New 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 • New R&D and Economic Development Opportunities
