About Us: News MIDnet Announces New Economic Development Case Study Project LINCOLN, Neb, March 1, 2009 – MIDnet and The Quilt are embarking on another joint project to promote further understanding of the country’s Regional Optical Networks (RONs) and the vital roles they play in the advanced networking capabilities to a region and/or state. For many RON’s economic development is not a primary mission, but often it is a positive by-product of the presence of an advanced R&E network in a geographic area. This new joint project aims to collect economic development success stories of RONs and their participants. The goal of the project is to capture and publish these stories in a format that educates and promotes further investment, collaboration and cooperation in the networks.
About The Quilt The Quilt gathers more than 30 leading research and education networking organizations in the United States to promote consistent, reliable, interoperable and efficient advanced networking services that extend to the broadest possible community; and to represent common interests in the development and delivery of advanced network services. Participants in The Quilt provide network service for more than 200 Internet2 universities and thousands of other educational institutions. Internet2, a university-led research and development consortium, provides organizational support for The Quilt. For more information, see: www.thequilt.net ###
