   My understanding is that the government support is not paying for
   networking services, which will be acquired in the commerical
   marketplace, but rather for the development of new application-oriented
   technologies which will make the use of the Internet practical for a
   larger range of commercial purposes.

If that's the government's *real* goal, then the gov't should make an
offer to RSA that they can't refuse.
