  8. Market developments Commercial vs. Research • QoS • Bandwidth • Price • Availability • Services

  9. IPv6 Managed wavelengths Optical CPE Global GRID Building blocks

  10. Other developments • Business model for research infrastructure, product development and early adopter phases. • Merging the wider research community with commercial production research networks • Building high-capacity, scalable data centric networks that are low cost… • Simplifying the network architecture • Lowering equipment costs • Lowering operational costs …and flexible to offer new service opportunities

  11. IP IP ATM IP++ SONET/SDH SONET/SDH High-Speed Optical Network IP-Optical Internetworking The simplification of Data Networking NEW OLD OPTICAL INTERNETWORKING ? ? IP++ All Optical Networking ? ?

  12. Summary • NGI / Global GRID is an emerging market of commercial significance and is still in early definition and research stages. • Operators should be able to make a profit to create a stable industry. • Research community can benefit from Optical IP Networking by partnering with operators and vise versa.

  13. “Telegraph charged for WORDS, Voice charges by the MINUTE, Data charges for BITS, Global GRID will charge for CYCLES”. Discussion?
