Alaska Gets A High Speed (OC-12) Connection to Internet2

Probably not news to most of you, but this is the first I have heard of it.
The University of Washington and WCI Cable Inc. are very pleased to announce
that WCI Cable, in support of the cooperative Pacific/Northwest Gigapop and
national Internet 2 efforts, is providing to the UW a state-of-the-art fiber
optic connection from Seattle to the University of Alaska Statewide System
in Fairbanks, Alaska. This connection will use high-speed "SONET OC-12"
technology, and will bring the new Internet 2 and NGI (Next Generation
Internet) capabilities and technologies to Alaska. It will link the
University of Alaska to the Pacific/Northwest Gigapop, which is the major
national (and only high speed) Internet 2 network hub for the region, and is
located in Seattle.
