Network Fees
Organizations that would like access to the Internet2 Network should consider the various costs associated with setting up and maintaining their high-performance network connectivity. Some of those costs are in the form of fees paid directly to Internet2, others may include telecommunications costs, cost-sharing with the local regional network, and equipment costs required to take advantage of Internet2's advanced services. This fees page addresses only fees paid directly to Internet2.
