[Two excellent reports on the future of R&E networks have just been
released. The first is the New Zealand research and education network which
has undertaken a in-depth study on the economic benefits of R&E networks.
This is one of the most comprehensive and in-depth studies I have seen on
the subject, and yet I think only scratches the surface in terms of the
economic benefits. Besides the direct monetizable and indirect benefits, I
believe R&E networks will have an even greater importance in society going
forward in working with industry to pilot new ways to accelerate research
outcomes from academia to industry through the use of cyber-infrastructure,
validating new network business models, facilitating new broadband solutions
for consumers and most importantly in helping address the biggest challenge
of all- climate change. The second report "Unleashing Waves of Innovation"
documents these contributions that R&E networks have made from the very
inception of the Internet. Not only did the Internet start with this
community, but they have continued to be at the forefront of adopting new
business models and architectures. For example, at one time radical
concepts such as condominium fiber and wavelengths started with this
community and have now been adopted by forward thinking carriers. The
standard for network neutrality and the need for a public Internet that is
for everyone has largely been carried by the R&E network community. Thanks
