The needs of higher education are broad and complex and as indicated by the discussion at Cheyenne Mountain, might not be achieved by a single initiative or project. Certainly, the need for extension of high bandwidth, real-time communications to higher education's future customers in the community is crucial to the enterprise. On the other hand, the ability right now for higher education to influence community network development is significantly less than its ability to organize and leverage its unique assets to support university to university communications in a way that is unlikely to be offered to higher education by the commercial Internet industry.
