2New Public-Private Partnerships Needed
- Global telecomm build-out of technical
infrastructure provides new possibilities for
economic development - Current market conditions have resulted in great
capacities which are currently going unused --
cannot be sold. - As a matter of social responsibility, this unused
capacity could be made available for stimulating
future applications and markets -- by donation
for use by research and education institutions. - Public-private partnerships involving government,
universities and private sector are needed - We need more synergy and leverage from our
currently fragmented investments.
3New Public-Private Partnership IEEAF
- The IEEAF represents one such partnership whose
goal is to obtain donations of international
bandwidth to enable a global collaboration in
research and education - Current donations have already linked US and
Europe, and as of this meeting, are linking US
and Asia-Pacific (HDTV Demo)
