3. 3 Need for New Campus Communications Services Voice was once revenue-generating for many schools; no longer Users have adopted consumer services to meet personal / profession needs Cellular Consumer IM&P (e.g. AIM, YIM, MSN) Consumer VoIP (e.g. Skype, FWD) How can universities develop services to: Recapture these customers? Enhance the campus life experience? Facilitate collaborative research? Improve productivity?

15. 15 VSAC Charter: Would it make sense for Internet2 to provide voice services to its membership? Caveat #1: Group did not conduct an overall program review of Internet2's voice and integrated communications R&D efforts (e.g. NG911, SIP.edu, PIC rich presence) Caveat #2: Group did not do a deep-dive on policy. Focus was instead on the business case and on technology strategy
