Global University System (GUS) (Utsumi, et al, 2003) aims to create a worldwide consortium of universities and healthcare institutions to provide the underdeveloped world with global e-learning and e-healthcare/telemedicine via broadband Internet technologies. The aim is to achieve “education and healthcare for all ” anywhere, anytime and at any pace. Education and job skills are the keys in determining a nation’s wealth and influence. GUS is headquartered at the Global E-learning Center at the University of Tampere in Finland, under the direction of the UNESCO/UNITWIN Networking Chair, held by Dr. Tapio Varis (Varis, et al, 2003).
