This article briefly outline what the UK's Janet Network does and provides an overview of national research and education networks (NREN), focusing in particular on Britain's. "An NREN is a key piece of national infrastructure: a secure, resilient, high-speed network infrastructure that connects universities, colleges and research institutions. Across the world, 140 countries have their own NREN dedicated to supporting their research and education communities." I like this idea of NREN; a networked research infrastructure is essential today. But I'd to see them more open, so that everyone - not just universities and research organizations - can have access to them. Via GÉANT.
