A faster network. Information Technology Services will expand our network’s bandwidth by 50 percent to ensure good performance and will continually monitor use and expand bandwidth accordingly to make sure we keep pace with demand. In addition, we are also exploring becoming a part of Internet 2, a completely separate, ultra-high-speed network used almost exclusively by academia and research. Unclogged by spam and other electronic litter, Internet 2 promises to deliver speeds that make the streaming of international discussion forums, for example, virtually instantaneous.
