What Happened to Internet 2?
from the apparently,-it's-going-strong dept
Interesting article all about the Internet 2 which most folks don't hear much about, as we have no access to it. There was a lot of hype when it was first talked about, but now most people forget it exists. It will be interesting to see what becomes of it, but this article makes it sound like it's going strong. Anyone have any other info?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

I-2
It is a great idea - kind of like the ARPA net and early Internet before it became "commercialized", but like roadways, as soon as those paying the bills open it up to the rest of the world, it will fill to capacity. Then what - I-3? (And if the edus think that companies like Qwest donated equipment and bandwidth out of the good of their heart, they are sniffing duplicating fluid...)
