A note about the 10th item, Software-Defined Networking. This is actually being done right now in the Health Sciences Virtual Organization, an international group with a Canadian base. They are using User Controlled Light Paths software, now ARGIA, to create virtual networks at the optical router level at the request of authorized users! See our some information about UCLP and ARGIA:
