ya supposedly colleges are testing Internet 2 now, and itll be public sometime in the near future, but I guess you can dl whole dvds in seconds and its virus free and blah blah blah....U know theyll have trojans on there in 2 seconds tho.
the internet 2 is already up and running between places with of high bandwidth. it's been running for years. it mostlikely runs IPv6 (not the v4 we run)
IP addresses turn into something like FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210

by the time "internet 2" is "released" it will be obsolete. the MMPA is wicked scared of it.
I guess college students on it do nothing but trade movies.
