IP++ All Optical Networking ?? Summary • NGI / Global GRID is an emerging market of commercial significance and is still in early definition and research stages. • Operators should be able to make a profit to create a stable industry. • Research community can benefit from Optical IP Networking by partnering with operators and vise versa. “Telegraph charged for WORDS, Voice charges by the MINUTE, Data charges for BITS, Global GRID will charge for CYCLES”.
