11. Prospects for the Advanced Networking Community Real progress in Internet technology and use is in doubt Not just connectivity, but performance, security, and reliability New applications require capabilities unlikely to be available through evolutionary change

12. Prospects for the Advanced Networking Community The higher education and research community can provide leadership For profit members focus on the bottom line and stability Our members continue to treat the Internet as a Commons No organization, national or regional, can succeed in isolation – these challenges have a global scale

13. Today’s Reality Technology Growth is restrained by reduced industry R&D and federal investment, but new applications require new capabilities Lack of capital is impeding commercial deployment University community is increasingly focused on containing expense, especially for student access

14. Today’s Reality Environment Increased tendency to compromise on open architecture Traditional industries are moving to protect their interests Security and safety concerns cross all sectors Scalability challenges today’s internet architecture Diminished investment in the Commons

15. Result Higher ed and corporate community partnerships require more work Research and university community resources are: More important Less adequate US leadership has diminished -- international collaboration is more important

16. Higher Education’s Role Internet infrastructure and applications have become integral to our enterprise Their usefulness will depend on Technological choices Legal and policy frameworks We can influence the environment We have leverage if we act together

17. Internet2 Dynamics The Internet2 community is increasingly complex Progress depends on a systems view Focus is more important than ever Advice from councils and working groups provides direction We are making difficult choices
