Why Not 100GbE as Service ~ JPIX Perspective ~APNIC
This document discusses the potential for JPIX, a large internet exchange provider in Japan, to offer 100GbE port services. It provides background on growing internet traffic and the availability of 100GbE services at other major internet exchanges.

The document examines some of the myths around 100GbE technologies and costs. It ultimately concludes that 100GbE is still an ongoing technology and that the timing of deployment requires careful consideration.

In this issue: IQ — What is happening in the Middle East? Lebanon: an overview of Berytech visited within the BICBIC program by Al Urdonia Lil Ebda, Jordan. Palestine: the next year supporting the Palestinian ICT Incubator in Ramallah. QI — First feedback on the 2011 Quality process. QS — EC-BICs Experts on line: soon to come the “Ask the expert of the month” feature. QO — Showcase your BICs and your start-ups in the DIGIBIC Awards.
The document summarizes information from a European BIC Network quality magazine. It discusses a visit by the Managing Director of University of East London's Knowledge Dock BIC to the BIC do Porto in Portugal. It also highlights the launch of the European BIC Network's YouTube channel to feature videos about innovation and entrepreneurship. Finally, it discusses how the BIC community supports SME internationalization, including by organizing events, assessing internationalization plans, and signposting members to resources like the European Enterprise Network.
The document discusses the EC-BIC quality criteria and process for business incubation centers seeking EC-BIC certification. It describes the criteria in four areas: general mission, organization, services, and performance evaluation. Centers complete a self-assessment questionnaire and may undergo an evaluation visit. Experts evaluate centers, write reports, and make accreditation recommendations to the BQMC committee. The process aims to boost quality, increase the network, and promote innovation and entrepreneurship.
The document summarizes interviews with three BIC directors - Luigi Campitelli of BIC Lazio in Italy, Joe Greaney of WestBIC in Ireland, and Pascal Hurel of Synergia in France - about their BICs' approaches to supporting internationalization, strategic alliances, financing, tools and best practices. Key points addressed include the importance of international cooperation from an early stage, facilitating partnerships between stakeholders, developing local networks of support organizations, and adapting services to local needs while sharing transferable tools and models. The directors provide examples of initiatives their BICs have created, such as business angel networks, startup competitions, and thematic incubators.

Managing Director of CEI Navarra. The one day visit unveiled some
of the good practices being implemented in Navarra and resulted in a
very useful exchange of experiences and in a Best-in-Class Report Mrs. Carmen Leza, CEI Navarra (left)

QI| Quality Info: The backstage of the Quality questionnaire
1h and 40min later...
BIC Frankfurt, completed and submitted the questionnaire 1h and 40 min after the
opening of the quality system… therefore...
Nothing is impossible!
And thank you for this new, very useful, benchmark!
Mr. Uwe Hoppe
CEO BIC Frankfurt
The Work behind it…
Before validating the questionnaires EBN’s Quality Team (Giordano and Gonçalo) will make sure that each one of them is
consistent and accurate. If that is not the case the BIC will be contacted and corrections will be asked until we can’t count on
a fully reliable database on which to base all our promotional (Observatory), benchmarking and networking services.
Did you know that…
...This way EBN’s Quality team will check manually the accuracy, reliability and consistency of more than 22 800 answers?
Did you know that…
...The verification process + reminders + feedback and corrections + reminders + validation + reminders… takes us at least 30
working days?
Did you know that…
Experience has taught us that the majority of the questionnaires will be submitted during the last two weeks of March al-
though the system is open from 18 January?

QI| Quality Info: what will we do with the 2009 data?
1. Make sure that Quality is ensured throughout all the network! Indeed we will prepare the
2010 evaluation program and select the best practices to visit and to disseminate to
all the members (By the way have you checked out the best practice reports on BIC
Birmingham and CEEI Navarra?)
2. Elaborate the 2010 Observatory useful for promoting yourself and the network every-
where (Have you seen the 2009 observatory? Short versions have been printed as
well!).
3. Elaborate the 2010 country observatories (did you check the ones prepared in 2009 for
Spain, UK, Italy, Portugal, Czech Republic and France?)
4. Prepare benchmarking reports at your request. Would you need to compare your perform-
ances and results, we will support you in selecting the relevant cases and prepare for
you a benchmarking report (in total confidentiality!).
5. Support the transfer of useful and innovative tools. If you are looking for something to
help you better deliver your services, we may be helpful in finding the appropriate
tool, which may have been already developed elsewhere!
6. Facilitate networking. The more we know about you the more we can support you with
partnering and networking with the other members!
The Quality team is always available to support you and we are getting more and more accessible!
