Internet2(I2)被吹捧为有益于人类的最伟大的基础设施。但是,让我们来看看它究竟是什么:它实际上是政府机构和教育设施花更多的钱来升级自己的网络的一个借口。让麻省理工学院和斯坦福大学的科学家们使用灵活的网络在一起工作,会对整个社会都有好处。但是很难估计出改进现有Internet的价格。另外,“Internet2”这个术语很容易被误解成Internet有一个集中的基础结构。虽然这会使一般的公众产生震惊,但是Internet确实不是这样的。与那种带有主干网和集中的基础结构的企业网不一样,Internet是按照一些基本的标准把分散的网络临时联 Internet2 (I2) is touted as the greatest infrastructure for the benefit of humanity. But let’s see what exactly it is: it’s actually an excuse for government agencies and educational facilities to spend more money to upgrade their networks.

In addition, the term “Internet2” is easily misinterpreted as a centralized infrastructure for the Internet. While this can alarm the general public, it does not. Unlike the corporate networks with backbone and centralized infrastructures, the Internet is based on some basic criteria for decentralized network interim association
