The national backbone, as hard as that is to do, it is the easy part!
2nd easiest are the campus infrastructure issues
Then there’s organizing the GigaPoP
Connecting the Ideas, Priorities, People and Resources
Then there’s the GigaPoP(s)
Working with: RBOC’s etc (and the local loops we
‘regionals’ used to have, but now are gone :-(
NSF (where network funding mechanisms and great programs are still held hostage by lawyers and inspector generals)
Gigapops ...
the nearest Qwest pop is >1000 miles away
Or there are a few too many Qwest/MCI et al etc. pop’s on the block :-)
Organizational issues
Understanding & Connecting with Mission Agency NGI efforts
Priming the local, regional and national Applications and Content Pumps
Soliciting/packaging Proposals -- PI’s with meritorious apps
Delivering on the Proposals &
Initiatives
Getting the word out & getting mindshare
$$$, people with clue
But what are we actually doing? (other than going to I2 mtgs?:)
Created Core Pacific/Northwest GigaPoP & SNNAP etc. with peering and internet aggregation points
Multiple local gigabit attachments, city fiber grid -- w/I2 stepped up connections - NOAA et al (& attached vBNS & Abilene)
Campus Infrastructure Upgrades -- course corrections to leverage opportunities
Delivering on our related Proposals & Commitments
(RE)-Creating ‘regional’(!) network structure and connectivity
Wrestling with the ‘Region’s’
L O N G local loops (3k to Fairbanks - - Bozeman, Moscow etc.)
Commodity Internet Integration & Aggregation (esp. in areas w/o competitive local options) needs
Org. and Relationships building
OBSERVATION: PERSISTENT REGIONAL HUB
INFRASTRUCTURE - It’s hard to believe that it is far harder to create or resurrect a persistent R&E infrastructure than it is to (re)create a national backbone -- but it is!
OBSERVATION WE need to do a far better job of
developing a broad understanding within the ‘beltway’, and among our good PACI etc. friends that this is the case, and we need to seek their help in accomplishing that.
Working with mission agency NGI networks, pop’s, connections
Sorting out whether some other agencies (e.g. NIH) will play active roles, and how some other agencies will be involved (esp. when their ‘branches’ &/or PI’s are on our doorsteps)
OBSERVATION We need to do a better job (for we sure
haven’t succeeded thus far) of working to encourage NGI “mission” agencies to follow the promising examples that folks like Leighton of ESNET are setting, that exist as models to develop joint plans that really will effectively encompass university researchers, and which will leverage regional hubs
OBSERVATION: Meanwhile NSF CISE really does
need to be the vehicle for managing & distributing IT2, post-’vBNS’ , and the bulk of NGI resources
Back on campus: Getting the word out (soon enuf but
not too soon, wide enuf but not too wide, loud enuf …
Applications/Content/Science/Arts … marshalling efforts - e.g. ResearchTV
Reshaping Efforts/Directions - middleware, contemplating trust fabric in a larger context
Saying “no” to non-RU1’s, community colleges, 4 years, k-12. Museums, galleries, libraries, other ISP’s?
Sorting through international connections
E-Ticket -- Looking to an exceedingly interesting future

Campus Infrastructure Investment Continuous Investment is Required Applications Drive Technology and
Resources Retention of Expertise is a Challenge Risk and Return On Investment
• Costs are insignificant when considered as a function of the competitive importance to the institution of advanced communications infrastructure.
Rapid Evolution
Technology generation period is about 18 months.
Continuous refreshment enables us to take advantage of economies of scale and of scope.
