Mats, good letter!
The technical issues are: - routing - DNS - management
i think dns is subsumed in management - i would say just routing & Management (but possibly also IPv7 evolution).
ENABLING HIGH SPEED SERVICES This could be achieved through two steps: - enabling funding for the EBONE structure to reinforce the bandwidth to 34 MBPS which is the technical and infrastructure possibility today. this could be made in an open tender, where the interconnections points in Ebone represents the European "GIX:es".
yes please!
DGXIII:s initiative "Demonstration of Interworking via optical Networks" is open for proposal now, I consider this to be a very fruitful possibility forward. Once these first experiments are settled one could enter a pilot service phase and subsequently a move to a open market.
right - there are at least 3 EC nations currently starting to build 34 - 622 Mbps national nets... anything below 34 Mbps interconnect would be a joke you have my support! jon
