Abstract
The presentation advocates for “a people network that makes the technical network useful” in higher education and economic development. Broadband links would be non-profit, public purpose and facilitate an active community of users as important as the network itself, for instance in terms of self help, virtual help desk, experiments, collaboration, problem solving, and training. At this point (2010) over 66,000 anchor institutions are connected (schools, colleges, universities, libraries, museums). The presentation reviews advances and applications in interoperable networks.
