Several Private TCP/IP networks are now starting to avoid the public internet. America’s great universities such as Harvard who are the builders and first users of internet are preparing to join the abandonment of their sinking ship.
Privatizing the backbones has left universities with such a commodity that can’t be of good help in providing the needs for research and education. Universities are proposing new, next-level, government funded Internet. This proposal is backed by a treaty that 100 universities and research groups will commit $500,000 – $50 million total for a 3-5 year partnership.
