This article discusses the importance of researchers working for the society, the role of local governments in fiber/Internet deployments, the need for pilot users in technology development, and the application of a new cost model for pilot users. It also highlights the members of APAN in Japan and provides examples of region-oriented and US-originated projects. The grid network architecture is presented as the backbone of next-generation research networks, with high-speed interconnects and a large compute layer. This network aims to support data-intensive research and collaboration across multiple locations.

Why not by commercial Internet? • Researchers should work more for the society. • Local governments can play the key role for fiber/Internet deployments. • Pilot users are required for developing technologies. • New cost model can be applied for the pilot users.
Members(in Japan) • Ministries • Education • Post & Telecom • METI • Agriculture • NGO • WIDE(Keio Univ.) • Genkai(to be planned)
Topology APAN Topology
Examples of Projects • Region-Oriented: • Earth monitoring • Agriculture/Gene • Remote Education • US-Originated • VoIP/QoS • Grid/Lambda Network
