More: Analyst: Internet2 means wider bandwidth for universities
CNN Interactive - April 14, 1998
Web posted at: 5:39 PM EDT (1739 GMT)

CNN Interactive talked to Dan Lavin, senior Internet technology
analyst from the research firm Dataquest, to find out more about
Internet2 and why it is so important.

Q: There are some big technology companies that are involved in
building the I2 (Cisco Systems, Northern Telecom, Qwest, 3Com,
MCI). What's in it for them?

A: These companies have been involved in providing technology to
the Internet for years. IBM and MCI were among the very early
players on the NSF net, the National Science Foundation net, to help
them develop their educational connections between
supercomputers. What this does is give them a leg up in terms of
technology ... as they service their industrial clients, they already
have a pretty good idea of what's going on. It's a way for them to
stay on top of future technologies and stay at the cutting edge.
