JGN2, SINET, IEEAF TW: TWAREN KR: APII/KREONet2 HK: Gloriad - peering with DANTE ??: TEIN2

10. 10 September 27, 2004 2004 Internet2 Fall Member Meeting South East Asia South East Asia networks are developing. Inter-regional links are provided by North Asia. Each country has her own link to US; some are commercial links. SG, MY and TH are working for intra-regional links, meeting with TEIN2. Satellite links are required to cover islands. Singapore Kuala Lumpur Bangkok

11. 11 September 27, 2004 2004 Internet2 Fall Member Meeting Oceania Sydney AARnet will get the fat pipes to USA, via Hawaii next month. The link to APAN is via Hawaii or USA. The direct link between AU and JP is being studied by both governments.

12. 12 September 27, 2004 2004 Internet2 Fall Member Meeting Other regions - North Asia will make efforts to connect these regions, together with South East Asia; satellite links might be a solution at the initial phase. - Efforts from EU & US are also expected.
