Funding

Major support is provided by the National Science Foundation for the following collaborative projects:
100 Mb/sec to 100 Million Households
The 100x100 Project brings together economists, security and networking experts, network operators, and policy specialists to create blueprints for a network that goes beyond today's Internet. Drawing on technology trends and the experience of the past 30 years, these scientists are re-prioritizing the fundamental principles that underlie network design to craft networks that will be ubiquitous in scale, revolutionary in bandwidth, economically self-sustaining, resistant to attack, and tractable to manage.

FAST Copper: Dynamic Optimization of Resources in Frequency, Amplitude, Space, and Time.

The goal of this ‘FAST Copper’ Project is to provide ubiquitous 100 Mb/sec broadband access to everyone in the U.S. who now has a phone line. This goal will be achieved through two threads of research: dynamic and joint optimization of resources in Frequency, Amplitude, Space, and Time to overcome the attenuation and crosstalk bottlenecks, and the integration of communication, networking, computation, modeling, and distributed information management and control for the multi-user twisted pair network.
