Development of an Internet II Advanced Performance Standard Initiative. Directs the Joint Commission on Technology and Science to determine what public resources, including but not limited to public-private partnerships, other public and private resources, taxation policies, and direct financial assistance may be used to further the development of an Internet II, advanced, high-speed telecommunications backbone network with the capability of transmitting a minimum of one gigabite per second (OC-24) utilizing the IPv6 Internet Protocol to all workstations within the Commonwealth; and monitor, cooperate, and coordinate with other agencies of the Commonwealth and committees of the General Assembly to ensure a sound, progressive statewide program is in place and being actively pursued. The Internet II project is a collaborative effort among a number of universities, federal R&D agencies, and private sector firms to develop a next generation Internet for research and education, including both enhanced network services as well as the multimedia applications that will be enabled by those services.
