Internet2 has been in existance for over 11 years now. Does anyone know if South Africa or any organizations in SA have any connections with this technology (currently 100Gb)? A terabyte transferred in 15 min?

Latest news copied from their web site: "Most intriguing is the network's new Dynamic Circuit Network feature, which will allow researchers to set up dedicated, 10Gbps point-to-point connections across the network for short-term data transfer. The service will go live in January 2008, but it already works. In a demonstration today, Dr. Carl Lundstedt, of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, set up a connection between his school and the Fermilab research park in Batavia, Illinois. With bandwidth provisioned, Lundstedt then transferred one-third of a terabyte of data between the two places. It took five minutes."
