Ten More Years!
• The National Competition is Over– Illinois and California proposals funded
– Cornell and Pittsburgh Will be Phased Out
– Starts October 1, 1998• Funded for 10 years
– Renewable at 5 years
– Yearly progress reviews• Major Increase in Support Levels
– NSF -- Over 1/3 Billion Dollars in Next Ten Years
– State -- $8 million/year in Cost Sharing
– Industry -- From 1 year to 3 year Contracts

The Illinois Century Network: Illinois Board of Higher Ed. Technology Task Force
•Proposal calls for the creation of a high-speed state backbone 155-622 Mbps. (Internet 2 Type speeds)
•Higher education institutions would connect at 45-155Mbps
•Suggested substantial investment by the state, $405M in capital over five years, and $29.5M per year operating
