New Public-Private Partnership - IEEAF • The IEEAF represents one such partnership whose goal is to obtain donations of regional and international bandwidth. • This bandwidth helps enable global collaborations in research and education, in the true spirit of the Global Quilt Initiative.
IEEAF Vision: The Global Quilt A Network of Networks, “stitched together” to create a common single fabric, and shared equally by all. This will be achieved through collaboration and community effort, until it covers the globe. The IEEAF has no boundaries of “home” territory…. . "Non Nobis Solo" (Not by ourselves alone)
New Public-Private Partnerships Needed • Global telecomm build-out of technical infrastructure provides new possibilities for economic development. • Current market conditions have resulted in great capacities which are currently going unused -- cannot be sold. • As a matter of social responsibility, this unused capacity could be made available for stimulating future applications and markets -- by donation for use by research and education institutions. • Public-private partnerships involving government, universities and private sector are needed • We need more synergy and leverage from our currently fragmented investments.
APAN – IEEAF OPPORTUNITY WHAT’S HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST UPDATE: 8, 000 miles of trans-USA fiber has been donated to the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA) through GEO and IEEAF efforts.

APAN – IEEAF OPPORTUNITY GEO has Acquired More New Assets: 1. A new 10 gigabyte trans-Atlantic connectivity which GEO will use specifically for telemedicine and HEP initiatives. 2. 88 strands of fiber from the European Cable Station to Hamburg, Germany. 3. A new 30 million dollar 70, 000 square foot tech facility in Hamburg.
APAN – IEEAF OPPORTUNITY GEO HAS BEEN GIVEN AN ADDITIONAL NEW BUSINESS ASSIGNMENT: u Exclusively seek out financially distressed telecommunications and technology assets around the globe for acquisition by one of the ten largest Investment Banking Groups in the world. u The Group will acquire multiple companies from around the world spending 1 Billion dollars for these acquisitions. u GEO’s technical teams will seek out, evaluate, and negotiate each opportunity. u GEO will donate to the IEEAF, related fiber or infrastructure donations, from each company acquired. u New APAN-IEEAF planning sessions may likely enable the momentum process toward new donations.
IEEAF - APAN OPPORTUNITY • • How can APAN Help? GEO is committed to the International Demonstration IEEAF Mission and to full Events support of the APANIEEAF Backbone Initiative Cooperations – Partnerships • Think Tank Sessions
