As the Internet grows larger and more crowded, government, scientists, and universities are looking for new ways to send information quickly and powerfully. Two projects have grown out of this need, Internet2 and the Next Generation Internet (NGI). Internet2 is sponsored by high-tech companies and universities, while the Next Generation Internet is a government project. Both new Internets hope to develop new, faster technologies to enhance research and communication, and it is expected that both projects will eventually improve the current commerical Internet. Need for Speed Spawns 2 Internetlets - an article from the San Francisco Chronicle explaining Internet2 and the NGI. The Next Generation Internet Initiative - government site explaining the NGI, including press releases, questions and answers, and a general overview. Internet2 - the official Internet2 site, explaining the sponsors and goals of the project. Internet 2 Outline - a straightforward explanation of the goals, requirements, and design of Internet2. Internet Deux: Not Your Father's Net - an article addressing the growing pains and development of the new academic Internet. The Internet Engineering Task Force - "a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet."
