  8. US based--but with International collaboration Not-for-profit organization supported by dues of membership; grants; corporate support $21M/year central budget from member dues & fees $400M/year effort Main offices: Ann Arbor, Michigan Washington, DC Armonk, New York Board of Trustees Largely composed of University Presidents 4 Advisory Councils-Each with a seat on the Board Internet2 Organization

  9. Funding Models • Organization and core activities: • Membership dues • Shared infrastructure: • Combination of industry contributions, membership contributions (fees), grants • Example: Abilene Backbone Network • $Multi-million contribution: Qwest, Cisco, Nortel, Indiana University • User fees

  10. Yesterday’s Internet • Thousands of users • Remote login, file transfer • Interconnect mainframe computers • Applications capitalize on underlying technology

  11. Today’s Internet • Millions of users • Web, email, low-quality audio & video • Interconnect personal computers and servers • Applications adapt to underlying technology

  12. Tomorrow’s Internet • Billions of users and devices • Convergence of today’s applications with multimedia (telephony, video-conference, HDTV) • Interconnect personal computers, servers, and embedded computers • New technologies enable unanticipated applications (and create new challenges)

  13. Why Internet2? • The Internet was not designed for: • Millions of users • Congestion • Multimedia • Real time interaction • But, only the Internet can: • Accommodate explosive growth • Enable convergence of information work, mass media, and human collaboration
