What will Columbus' new status as a United Nations-sanctioned
Info-Port do for Ohio's information infrastructure?  Will ISDN
deployment be accelerated?  Will "fiber to every doorstep" happen here
first?

Will the inter-InfoPort information traffic be carried on the existing
international "data highways", with compatible "off-ramps" so that
small businesses can quickly and easily get connected?  That was one
of the goals I remember reading in the article.  Watch closely to see
whether IP or OSI technology is selected for the backbone and the
access methods.  If the former, they can quickly reach their goal of
ubiquitous access, using low-cost, proven technology.  If the latter,
it will founder as an underutilized playground for Big Business.

Who is involved in the data networking effort?  OARnet?  CICnet?  ANS?
CIX?  NSFnet?  FARRnet?  NREN?
