  8. Internet2 a national research and education network Internet2 is the foremost U.S. advanced networking consortium. Led by the research and education community since 1996, Internet2 promotes the missions of its members by providing both leading-edge network capabilities and unique partnership opportunities that together facilitate the development, deployment and use of revolutionary Internet technologies. By bringing research and academia together with technology leaders from industry, government and the international community, Internet2 promotes collaboration and innovation that has a fundamental impact on the future of the Internet.

  9. U.S. UCAN a project to connect CAI’s U.S. UCAN mission = provide Community Anchor Institutions (CAI’s) with advanced broadband capabilities and services using the Internet2 national research and education network U.S. UCAN goal = for CAI’s to better serve their communities with telemedicine, distance learning and other life- changing Internet-based applications, not currently possible with consumer-grade Internet service to dramatically improve the delivery of public services to their communities and lead to the creation of new economic opportunities for their local citizens CAI’s = public safety organizations, public libraries, K-12  schools, community colleges, research parks, and health care organizations
