Jon Bosanac of CERFnet in San Diego will speak about how an Internet backbone provider works. Jon is a system administrator, and is responsible, among many things, for setting up ISPs using CERFnet's backbone in Orange County. He will speak on the architecture of the Internet itself, as well as how to go about setting up as an ISP. This will be a particularly good session to attend for anyone interested in possibly becoming an ISP. Jon will also discuss the possible move to a transaction-based fee system for the Internet, versus the flat rates we now see, and why.
