China, Russia, U.S. To Build 100MBps Network

prostoalex writes "Gloriad (Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development), a scientific data network, will unite academic institutions in China, Russia and the United States with a 100 MBps link. National Center for Supercomputing Applications received a $2.8 mln grant from NSF, and both Russia and China will match this amount to contribute to network build-up. Later this year, as the Associated Press article notes, a new plan will be launched to move the international network to 10 GBps capacity."

So people are talking about how this network will be free from spam and various other sociopathic Internet behavior. Maybe we could create another network and all pretend to use it instead of the Internet, and trick the spammers into leaving the real Internet for the new one! We could even get on the spammer network every once in a while and bitch about all the spam just to keep leading them on. Dude that would be so cool.
