What if my colleagues are faculty at universities outside the U.S.? Can I still use Internet2 networks to build applications?
A. Increasingly the answer is yes, you can use advanced networks to collaborate with colleagues around the world. There are national research network efforts similar to Internet2 around the world. Internet2 has signed agreements (memoranda of understanding) with over 40 such organizations, with the objective of working together on both connectivity and applications. Internet2 doesn’t provide connectivity directly to those countries, but many of them connect to the U.S. (some with support from the National Science Foundation). Details on Internet2’s international activities can be found at theInternet2 Internationalweb site.
