Impressive, goes to show that if you can muster any kind of health use for something, funding will be easy to get.

I don't exactly get telemedecine, most of the examples I've seen are HD video teleconferencing setups or controlling robots from afar, both thing that seem to require mostly low latency.

Anyway, they tested a 100G link between chicago and new orleans at Supercomputing last year, NASA and NOAA filled it up very easily ;p

It's funny, whenever an Internet2 headline surfaces it always brings to mind memories of i2hub. I wonder what percentage of Internet2 usages that accounted for while it was alive.

Hard drive failure the week the RIAA scanned the network == lucky break for broke college student
