Internet2 is a consortium of universities and research institutions experimenting with uses of broadband interactive Internet events. These events incorporate science, the arts, and education in interactive performances, productions, experiments, and educational applications.
The home of Internet2 provides a context by which to understand this undertaking, and the purpose of this newsblog is to keep abreast of these interactive Internet activities, especially those which have implications of how Internet2 can generate new ideas and new work.
Internet2 has also been called "the better internet that you can't use." This is true, since it is largely a consortium of universities and research entities and this elite membership controls the traffic on the pipeline. But the spirit of collaboration and interactivity seems more in line with the values expressed in Web 2.0 where consumers of content are replaced by creators of content.
