N-1-3-013.30, Israel, by Hank Nussbacher, Israel's network, ILAN, is expected to be upgraded to 128kb by the end of August 1992. In addition, one of its two 64kb international links, the one terminating at PSI in the USA, will also be upgraded to 128kb by the end of August. The link to CERN will remain currently at 64kb. On the regulatory end, our government has finally authorized commercial R&D organizations as well as educational and cultural organizations to connect to the network. Previously, the operating license ILAN was granted was for a limited set of users, those in higher education and non-profit R&D. This change in government policy will allow our network to expand into a whole new area of users within Israel. The details for government subsidies, a pricing structure, rules of usage, as well as setting up a dial-in service provider is currently being finalized. Current traffic levels run at about 64 Gbytes/month on a national level and about 30 Gbytes/month of data traffic interchanged with foreign networks.
