RE: [-empyre-] intro

Alan,

Currently I am trying to organize some Access Grid events here at LSU,
and I would love to talk about possibly seeing what could be cooked up.

My main concern is that I am currently solidifying my position with the
Life Sciences Deoartment, and it's hit and miss at times.  However, I am
collaborating with University of Sao Paulo to try to organize something
in May.

Just a question here - I'm following this discussion with great
interest.

At West Virginia University recently, I was able to see Internet II
streaming/projection - what fascinated me was the six simultaneous
projected images, all of which had close to the quality of NTSC, all of
which were in real time. This was from one lab to another, and the
connection was kept open for sufficient time for mutual interaction
partying, etc. The communality/community that was in/formation was
fascinating.

What is the spread at this point of I2? Wouldn't this create enough
bandwidth to forget the web entirely? I imagine DSL/cable/satellite will
take over in another decade or so, maybe 12 years for I2 - and this
would
change the issues entirely.

In other words, are we in a temporary bottleneck, perhaps nothing more?

- Alan
