  34. CYNET has upgraded its connection with GEANT to 1+1Gbps from 310Mbps.
    CYNET is in the process of creating 2 more PoPs in two major cities in Cyprus.
    CYNET has increased its members and its bandwidth provision to all members, at the same time decreasing its prices.
  35. The "Traffic" form is really complicated and time consuming to calculate. For the percentage of the commercial traffic there could be another option (ie DWS only)for the NRENs who use only the DWS and you can easily access the data via the DANTE web site and not having to perform all the calculations. Also the E21 is confusing.
