New Public-Private Partnership - IEEAF The IEEAF represents one such partnership whose goal is to obtain donations of regional and international bandwidth.The IEEAF represents one such partnership whose goal is to obtain donations of regional and international bandwidth. This bandwidth helps enable global collaborations in research and education, in the true spirit of the Global Quilt Initiative.This bandwidth helps enable global collaborations in research and education, in the true spirit of the Global Quilt Initiative.

IEEAF Vision: The Global Quilt A Network of Networks, stitched together to create a common single fabric, and shared equally by all. This will be achieved through collaboration and community effort, until it covers the globe. The IEEAF has no boundaries of home territory….. "Non Nobis Solo" (Not by ourselves alone) (Not by ourselves alone)

New Public-Private Partnerships Needed Global telecomm build-out of technical infrastructure provides new possibilities for economic development.Global telecomm build-out of technical infrastructure provides new possibilities for economic development. Current market conditions have resulted in great capacities which are currently going unused -- cannot be sold.Current market conditions have resulted in great capacities which are currently going unused -- cannot be sold.

GEO has Acquired More New Assets: 1.A new 10 gigabyte trans-Atlantic connectivity which GEO will use specifically for telemedicine and HEP initiatives strands of fiber from the European Cable Station to Hamburg, Germany. 3.A new 30 million dollar 70,000 square foot tech facility in Hamburg. APAN – IEEAF OPPORTUNITY

GEO HAS BEEN GIVEN AN ADDITIONAL NEW BUSINESS ASSIGNMENT: Exclusively seek out financially distressed telecommunications and technology assets around the globe for acquisition by one of the ten largest Investment Banking Groups in the world.
