It is almost universally agreed that the Internet bandwidth problem has reached critical proportions for the research and education community. This site presents possible solutions. The Internet 2 site provides information about the "cooperative effort of member universities working together with private member companies and non-profit organizations," through "high bandwidth and bandwidth reservation," to "provide tools for scientific research and higher education in the 21st century." The site contains useful technical information, a list of members, events, and information on how to contact and join I2. Of particular interest are the examples of possible I2 applications (Library, Applications).
