1 A Private Internet (no, this is not a joke)
By Phillip Pickett

2 Outline Background Info Current Problems Current Technology
Reasons for a new Internet Opposition Advantages How to do it Questions

3 Background Info ARPANET roots of the Internet
Packet switching/Routing still what we use today Currently we use IPv4 and NAT Most ISP’s lease lines from telephone companies They buy only so much bandwidth from the telephone companies

4 Current Problems Access prices that never seem to drop
In the US, $40/month average Average speed is 1.5Mbps in the US Here in Manhattan, Cox Cable charges $49.99 if you don’t buy cable TV! High price compared to other countries In Japan, $15/month average Average speed is 26Mbps No usage cap

5 Current Problems Contd.
High prices also restrict access We now have complete PC’s sell for $250 Why not have cheap broadband to go with it? Limited physical broadband access Some get dial-up, some get broadband because of geography Some ISP’s block certain services Example: degraded or blocked VOIP service Big carriers bullying sites into paying more if their site is popular Example: Google and Bellsouth

6 Current Technology Copper Fiber Wireless
New wireless technology like WiMax allows for up to 30 mile radius of coverage

7 Reasons to Build Redesign to eliminate current problems and limitations Security Quickly contain problems Support for more unique addresses IPv6

8 More Reasons Price! Price of access would go down
If a private company owned the network, there would be no need for a cap! Price of building the network Dark fiber WiMax

9 Mental Blocks Access prices would go up Limited services
No way they would build a new network and charge higher rates, they need customers to change over Limited services More services Afraid that it would be censored It already is...

10 Benefits to Society Lower prices Privately owned
better control of problems Extended access range with new wireless technology Privately owned means organizations like the UN cant take control

11 More Benefits Easy access for emergency vehicles
City wide wireless network in Lenexa, KS estimated a 2hr/day time savings by installing a city wide wireless network

12 How it can be accomplished
Dark fiber Cheap, already in place, and ready to use Where did it come from? Fill in areas where no fiber is available Costs:

13 How it can be accomplished
Bulk of costs for install labor

14 How it can be accomplished
WiMax to the homes Cut the cost of installing lines to each home Also allows for wider roaming range
