The Internet as we know it took 30 years to come to everybody, and it was providing something that essentially wasn't provided before.
Internet2 provides the same thing, only faster; so why do we believe it will replace the existing solution *EVER*, much less in a shorter time frame than 30 years?
The Internet is going to be with us for a very long time. Emphasis should be on fixing it, not replacing it.
Is it just me or is the Internet2 not a very big deal? Its based on OC-48c and OC-192c technology as far as I know, so why would its adoption change _anything_ except the some switch or router gear that guarantees QoS? I admit my information may be woefully out of date; I saw an article in InternetWeek about transfering a file at 40Mbit/s. I wouldn't see the big deal at 400Mbit/s. Deepak Jain AiNET
