  1. A Private Internet(no, this is not a joke) By Phillip Pickett

  2. Outline • Background Info • Current Problems • Current Technology • Reasons for a new Internet • Opposition • Advantages • How to do it • Questions

  3. Background Info • ARPANET roots of the Internet • Packet switching/Routing still what we use today • Currently we use IPv4 and NAT • Most ISP’s lease lines from telephone companies • They buy only so much bandwidth from the telephone companies

  4. Current Problems • Access prices that never seem to drop • In the US, $40/month average • Average speed is 1.5Mbps in the US • Here in Manhattan, Cox Cable charges $49.99 if you don’t buy cable TV! • High price compared to other countries • In Japan, $15/month average • Average speed is 26Mbps • No usage cap

  5. Current Problems Contd. • High prices also restrict access • We now have complete PC’s sell for $250 • Why not have cheap broadband to go with it? • Limited physical broadband access • Some get dial-up, some get broadband because of geography • Some ISP’s block certain services • Example: degraded or blocked VOIP service • Big carriers bullying sites into paying more if their site is popular • Example: Google and Bellsouth

  6. Current Technology • Copper • Fiber • Wireless • New wireless technology like WiMax allows for up to 30 mile radius of coverage

  7. Reasons to Build • Redesign to eliminate current problems and limitations • Security • Quickly contain problems • Support for more unique addresses • IPv6

  8. More Reasons • Price! • Price of access would go down • If a private company owned the network, there would be no need for a cap! • Price of building the network • Dark fiber • WiMax

  9. Mental Blocks • Access prices would go up • No way they would build a new network and charge higher rates, they need customers to change over • Limited services • More services • Afraid that it would be censored • It already is...

  10. Benefits to Society • Lower prices • Privately owned • better control of problems • Extended access range with new wireless technology • Privately owned means organizations like the UN cant take control

  11. More Benefits • Easy access for emergency vehicles • City wide wireless network in Lenexa, KS estimated a 2hr/day time savings by installing a city wide wireless network

  12. How it can be accomplished • Dark fiber • Cheap, already in place, and ready to use • Where did it come from? • Fill in areas where no fiber is available • Costs:

  13. How it can be accomplished • Bulk of costs for install labor

  14. How it can be accomplished • WiMax to the homes • Cut the cost of installing lines to each home • Also allows for wider roaming range

  15. Thank You Questions?
