Can Indian Education Society emulate Internet2?

Read what Internet2 is all about - http://www.internet2.edu/

The question Indian educationists (IITs and NITs speicaly) have to answer is: Can they provide similar infrastructure to other smaller institutes/schools? I guess, funding may be a problem, but then they should start bringing companies into their growth plans and vision..For Indian companies, it is really a shame that they are not taking large scale combined initiative, but are focussed on smaller areas which cater to their short term and immediate concerns or goals like to build better roads in Bangalore so that employees can reach to the office faster :-)
I think, IBM again is doing great job working with colleges and universities across most part of India and not just local..
