A new, high-speed fiber-optic network capable of sending the equivalent of scores of encyclopedia sets per second is up and running in Â鶹¹ÙÍø, connecting CU researchers with colleagues at major federal laboratories and the City of Â鶹¹ÙÍø. "This joint project is an excellent example of the goals of the administrationÂ’s Information Technology Initiative," said U.S. Congressman Mark Udall, who spoke at a news briefing on the subject at CU-Â鶹¹ÙÍø April 28.
