GMD and DFN agree on EMPB and EBONE

[Klaus Birkenbihl <]

Colleagues,

this is to inform you that the boards of DFN and GMD have signed a 
common statement on their position on EMPB and EBONE. This agreement 
emphazises the importance of EMPB and defines EMPB as the desired goal.

As far as EBONE is concerned it opens the possibility to go ahead 
with the installation of an EBONE-EBS at GMD.

I should like to take the opportunity to thank the responsible people of 
DFN and GMD. I'm convinced that this agreement will help to improve
internet connectivity in Europe.

Best regards, Klaus Birkenbihl
