Fast Forerunner to a New Internet? Universities' Network Serves As a Technological Test Bed Yesterday, he found salvation in something called "Internet2." It's a collaborative effort among U.S. research universities, the National Science Foundation and several technology companies to get around the traffic jams and speed limits on today's commercial Internet by creating an ultra-fast, members-only network. In service experimentally at 12 universities, it allows users to send and receive data as much as 100 times faster than on the normal Internet. The project has piqued the interest of technology companies, who see it as a massive test bed for their latest and greatest products. Nine large companies, including International Business Machines Corp., telephone switch manufacturer Northern Telecom Ltd. and networking firms 3Com Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc. have pledged at least $1 million each in goods and services for the project. washingtonpost.com o~~~ O
