INTERNET2 ESTABLISHES NEW ORGANIZATION TO SUPPORT REGIONAL FIBER OPTICAL 
NETWORKING INITIATIVES

Ann Arbor, MI--May 8, 2003--Internet2 today announced that it has 
established the National Research and Education Fiber Company (Fiberco) 
to support regional fiber optical networking initiatives dedicated to 
research and higher education.

Fiberco supports the Internet2 community's goals of developing and 
deploying advanced network applications and technologies, and 
complements existing Internet2 network infrastructure by providing a 
means for acquiring, holding, and distributing fiber optic network 
assets. Fiberco helps Internet2 meet a critical objective by 
facilitating the ongoing development of regional optical networking 
initiatives around the country.

The assets allocated by Fiberco are expected to enable testing of a wide 
variety of highly advanced network applications, including uncompressed 
high-definition television quality video, remote control of scientific 
instruments such as mountaintop telescopes and electron microscopes, 
collaboration using immersive virtual reality, and grid computing.

Fiberco's initial assets include over 2,600 miles of dark fiber acquired 
from Level 3 Communications, Inc. Questions concerning Fiberco may be
