Ca*net Optical
Internet Backbone
Using new fibre optic-based technology and Dense Wavelength Division
Multiplexing, CA*net 3 will deliver unparalleled network capability
to Canadian research institutions and universities faster than any
existing commercial Internet. Although the initial use of the network
will be in support of Canada's high technology and research communities,
it will eventually have tremendous impact on all Canadians.

Gigabit Internet to the Home and Schools
The GITH project proposes an early deployment of extreme high speed Internet access
to schools and libraries (GITS) which will then underpin an architectural framework
for high speed Internet access to the home.
The proposed strategy calls for the deployment of a third residential network service
operating in parallel with existing telephone and cable delivery mechanisms and thereby
avoiding the regulatory and technical hurdles of integrating traditional telephone and
cable services into one common delivery mechanism.
