The Internet Revolution
 The Internet revolution has barely begun…
 In mid 1990s the prevailing wisdom was that commercial sector
would drive design of Internet infrastructure
 As a result in North America R&E networks were
commercialized or decommissioned
 e.g NSFnet & CA*net
 New R&E networks would focus on applications or specialized
services such as QoS
 But new developments in customer owned dark fiber, long
distance LAN and wireless are putting the universities back in
the driver’s seat in the ongoing evolution of the Internet
Customer Empowered Networks
 Individual institutions – the customers – own and control their
own strands of fiber
 Fiber are configured in point to point private networks; or
 Connect to local ISP or carrier hotel or GigaPOP
 Low cost LAN architectures and optics are used to light the
fiber for distances to several hundred kilometers
 Control and management of the optics and wavelengths is
under the domain of the customer at the edge, as opposed to the
traditional carrier in the center
 These new concepts in customer empowered networking are
starting in the same place as the Internet started – the university
and research community.
 Extending the Internet model of autonomous peering networks
to the telecom world
New Critical Role for Universities
 This time it is not only about Internet networks for universities
and research centers, but for schools and most importantly for
the community as a whole
 Communities and schools are looking to the universities for
leadership
 They are are the only neutral 3rd party in the community
with the skills and knowledge to lead this revolution
 University community has a greater role and a greater
responsibility with this second Internet revolution
Examples of University Leadership
 Universities in Quebec are building their own 3500km
“condominium” fiber network in partnership with several
school board and many communities
 In Ottawa is deploying a 85km- 144 strand “condominium”
network connecting 26 institutions – cost $1m US
 Universities are the anchor tenants and lead for the project
 Blacksburg Electronic Village dark fiber network was lead
UoVirginia
 University community in Chicago area and Indiana are
instrumental in municipal developments there
 University in California – CENIC is the lead for the California
DCP project to connect up all California schools with high
bandwidth
Market Drivers
 First - low cost
 Up to 1000% reduction over current telecom prices. 6-12 month payback
 Second - LAN invades the WAN – no complex SONET or ATM
required in network
 Third - Enables new applications and services not possible with
traditional telecom service providers
 Relocation of servers and extending LAN to central site
 Out sourcing LAN and web servers to a 3rd party because no performance
impact
 IP telephony in the wide area (Spokane)
 HDTV video
 Fourth – Allows access to new competitive low cost telecom and
IT companies at carrier neutral meet me points - GigaPOPs
 Much easier to out source servers, e-commerce etc to a 3rd party at a
carrier neutral collocation facility
Community Fiber Build Examples
 Des affluents: Total cost $1,500,00 ($750,00 for schools)

average cost per building - $18,000 per building
 Mille-Isles: Total cost $2,100,000 ($1,500,000 for schools)

165 km
$11,500 per building
Peel county: Total cost $3m – 100 buildings
 Cost per building $30,000
Typical Payback for school
(Real example – des affluents – north of Montreal)



DSL to 100 schools - $400 per month per school
Over 3 years total expenditure of $1,440,000 for DSL service
Total cost of dark fiber network for 100 schools $1,350,000
Additional condominium participants were brought in to lower cost to
school board to $750,000
 School board can now centralize routers and network servers at each
school
 Estimated savings in travel and software upgrades $800,000
 Payback typically 8 –16 months
 Independent Study by Group Secor available upon request

The biggest challenge of all…
To foster and accelerate
broadband Internet to the home
The basic assumptions
 The good, the bad and the ugly..
 Monopolies are bad
 Duopolies are ugly
 Facilities based competition is good
 The private sector, in an open competitive market, is far more
effective at responding to consumer’s needs and introducing
new services at lower prices than any kind of government
regulation
 Facilities based competition is alive and well in downtown core
 How do we accelerate facilities based competition into
residential market
 As well how can we assure scalable high speed Internet services
to the home that eventually will support Gigabit speeds or
higher?
Critical role for universities
 Community dark fiber networks increases facilities based
competition, levels the playing field and provides greater
choice to the consumer
 Universities can play critical role in organizing municipal
condominium fiber builds in their community and serve as the
“anchor tenant”
 Universities can also encourage building carrier neutral
collocation facilities
 In downtown cores will likely be done by private sector
 In suburbs will probably have to be public facility like
school board office, university, etc
 Universities are also seen as critical anchor tenants for carrier
hotels e.g. Halifax, BC @home

Benefits to Industry
 For cablecos and telcos it help them accelerate the deployment
of high speed internet services into the community
 Currently deployment of DSL and cable modem deployment is
hampered by high cost of deploying fiber into the neighbourhoods
 Cable companies need fiber to every 250 homes for cable modem
service, but currently only have fiber on average to every 5000 homes
 Telephone companies need to get fiber to every 250 homes to support
VDSL or FSAN technologies
 Wireless companies need to get fiber to every 250 homes for new high
bandwidth wireless services and mobile Internet
 It will provide opportunities for small innovative service
providers to offer service to public institutions as well as homes
 For e-commerce and web hosting companies it will generate
new business in out sourcing and web hosting
CANARIE's 6th Advanced Networks Workshop
"The Networked Nation"
November 28 and 29, 2000
Palais des Congrès
Montreal, Quebec - Canada
 "The Networked Nation", will focus on application architectures ("grids") made
up of customer owned dark fiber and next generation Internet networks like
CA*net 3 that will ultimately lead to the development of the networked nation
where eventually every school, home and business will have high bandwidth
connection to the Internet.
 Three tracks:
 Customer owned dark fiber for schools, hospitals, businesses and homes.
 Next generation optical Internet architectures that will be a natural and seamless
extension of the customer owned dark fiber networks being built for schools,
homes and businesses.
 "application grids", which are a seamless integration of dark fiber and optical
networks to support specific collaborative research and education applications.
