Faced with increasing needs for bandwidth, Oregon State University partnered with NoaNet Oregon (Northwest Open-Access Network Oregon) to construct an OSU-owned fiber link which provides unlimited bandwidth. This unique public/private partnership is based on a revenue-sharing model. OSU paid for the up-front build-out costs and expects enough revenue to offset that investment as well as provide additional investment monies.
