  1. Initiative Overview Nick MaynardNovember 3, 2011

  2. Accelerating Development of Next-Gen Applications PROBLEM: We have a chicken and egg problem in next-gen capacity and applications. • Demand for high-speed broadband from consumers and small businesses is limited without next-gen applications. • Software developers have continued to engineer their apps to run over low-bandwidth broadband services. • Without a critical mass of end-users demanding higher bandwidth, supply of next-gen capacity has remained limited.

  3. Accelerating Development of Next-Gen Applications SOLUTION: US Ignite will promote US leadership in development of applications and services for ultra-fast networks This initiative will foster the creation of novel applications that have the potential to transform  national priority areas, such as: • Healthcare • Education • Public safety • Energy • Advanced manufacturing

  4. Actions • Link together ultra-high-capacity, low-latency networks of sufficient scale to support meaningful experimentation by researchers and entrepreneurs • Facilitate research, experimentation, and entrepreneurship using this network of networks • Make the best applications available for public benefit or commercial use through the support of US Ignite partners and funders • Disseminate lessons learned

  5. Combining Industry, Agencies and Academia • US Ignite Partnership will work with NSF, the White House OSTP, GENI, and leading technology and telecom companies • Allows startups and students the same opportunity as industry and researchers to develop and deploy next-gen apps • Funders and partners will have the opportunity to take an active role in developing and growing good ideas developed by US Ignite efforts

  6. No New Infrastructure Construction • Will stitch together islands of high-bandwidth connectivity across the country to create a nationwide high-bandwidth test-bed • Communities that have agreed to participate all have at least 100 Mbps symmetrical service

  7. Kickoff Event – Winter 2011 • White House event announcing the project partners, test-bed deployment, and long-term vision • Participants will include: • High-level White House officials • US Ignite non-profit • Communities • For-profit and non-profit partners • Federal agencies • Event will highlight current efforts while driving the interest of additional communities and partners

Part 1: Spur the development of new applications designed for advanced-technology networks • NSF will fund and support Gigabit research: • Partner with mission agencies in areas of national priority • Establish criteria to ensure new applications and digital experiences have the potential to transform focus sectors • Ensure test bed access to entrepreneurs, students, researchers • Run application development prize competitions • US Ignite Partnership will mentor application developers: • Help establish priorities for scope and mix of competitions • Foster online collaboration and resource sharing among user and developer communities • Facilitate new, innovative business model testing • Provide entrepreneurship training and funding

  18. Part 1: Leveraging the unique capabilities of next-generation networks 100 Mbps+ and low latency Post-IP protocols (layer 2) and OpenFlow GENI-enabled network capabilities Integrated with wireless networks Apps built to be open, shared, and extendable

  19. Part 1: Coordinating multiple development approaches • NSF has funded Mozilla Open Innovation Challenges: • Peer-based learning and exchange through structured workshops • Iterative application development with continued support contingent on results • Narrowing and launch within target sectors to build scale • Process facilitated by Mozilla’s experience and access to 400,000-member developer network • US Ignite Partnership will grow application prize competitions: • Balanced mix of competitions across sectors • Balanced mix of competition sponsors • Award criteria designed to ensure high impact, scalability, use of network capabilities

  20. Part 2: Maximize potential of national testbed network • Assist GENI in expansion of national testbed network: • Stitch together campuses and islands of advanced technology infrastructure • Peer communities that have already deployed 100Mbps or more symmetrical service to consumers, SMBs, anchors • Serve as “clearing house” for in-kind network contributions • Share best practices: • Compile lessons for infrastructure deployment, service creation and delivery, application development, and R&D • Curate and post online materials donated by partners/experts • Convene in-person forums

  21. Part 3: Review, evaluate, ensure high-impact applications • Review results of application contests and grant programs: • Develop metrics for evaluating adoption, usage, and success of apps • Conduct post-award panel reviews of progress and mentoring sessions • Evaluate strategies for further development of winning technologies • Develop strategies to distribute and/or commercialize technology: • Academic institution funding as a research project • Further government funding as a public benefit or service • Spin-out of technology with US Ignite encouragement, support, and fundraising • US Ignite Partnership board members, funders, and partners receive early exposure
