Recommendation(s): 28

Recommendation 28: We recommend to the Funding Bodies that the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) should be invited to report, within a year, on options to provide sufficient protected international bandwidth to support UK research.

7.3 The Government recognises the importance of improved international access to the research community and welcomes the HE funding bodies’ initiative in JISC to investigate this as a matter of priority and to provide costed options to supply protected international bandwidth for the research community. The resource implications of this and other of the Committee’s C&IT recommendations which require additional investment are being considered in the current Comprehensive Spending Review.
