Joe,

	There is much discussion under way about NREN, the National
Research and Education Network, including tlak about upgrading the
speed of the NSFNET backbone.  An article about the last developments
appeared in Science a few issues back (sorry but I don't have accesss
to any right now).  Perhaps someone at NSF has some information in
electronic form that they could post to this newsgroup.
