Teleglobe and R&E: the early days
July 1994: G7 meeting in Naples With the end of NSFnet and the nascent commercial internet President Clinton urges
the G7 nations to develop an international information infrastructure G7 decide on ministerial conference on Information Society in Brussels, hosted by the
European Union and combined with a major industry leaders meeting and technology showcase
Feb 1995 Brussels meeting Teleglobe provides a transatlantic STM-1 (155mb) on the brand-new Cantat-3 cable
linking CRC and Canarie to Europe for the showcase; Deutsche Telekom connects the European continental part through James, ancestor of Géant.
11 pilot projects are identified including the Global Interoperability of Broadband Networks (GIBN)
5CORPORATE
GIBN
First GIBN meeting January 1996 in Paris At the initiative of the NSF and spearheaded by Steve Goldstein, the United States
proposes a number of high-performance computing and communications candidate applications that would utilize intercontinental high-performance communications links.
As part of the Canadian contribution Teleglobe donates the Cantat-3 STM-1 to Canarie for a two year period and connects Japan with a 45mb satellite link. And participates actively.
After a series of meetings, GIBN completes its mandate in 1998 with the creation of STARTAP in Chicago and laying the foundation for STARLIGHT

Evolution of R&E market for IP transit
Strict AUP continues to segregate R&E and commodity internet traffic in North-America, not so strict elsewhere
Pre 2000: internet content is US centric Major overseas R&E networks operate managed routers in North-America with the same
international circuits carrying segregated R&E and commodity internet The R&E sector becomes Teleglobe Center of Excellence
Post 2000 : internet goes global and becomes multipolar R&E networks increasingly connect locally to the public internet. Aggregation of transatlantic R&E capacity under Dante’s Géant The focus of R&E networking shifts to very high speed point to point connections and to
lambda switching
Tata Communications remains a major provider of IP transit to R&E but the business model has evolved to reflect the growing role of gigabit speed
connectivity & lambdas

Teleglobe and gigabit R&E connectivity
Teleglobe provides first transatlantic gigabit cct 2001: 2.5 gig Surfnet to Chicago Starlight
Teleglobe and KDD : first transpacific STM-4’s 2001: two Transpac STM-4’s
2002: first transatlantic 10gb Led by Surfnet to be ready for Amsterdam iGrid 2002
The big R&E scare of spring 2002: KPNQwest disappears, Teleglobe reorganizes Level 3 provides Surfnet a 10gig and Tyco one to Abilene and save the day and make a
success of iGrid 2002
