I just got this info on another list and thought it MOST interesting and
appropriate for com-priv... Don't gripe at me, this is NOT from me:
>Stanford currently manages access to the Internet for the San Francisco bay
>area. We support a large number of non-profit and corporate clients. Its
>currently a breakeven proposition at best. Recently, some VC's have
>offered to "buy" this support function from us. We're currently
>considering: (1) their offer, (2) maintaining the status quo, or (3)
>spinning off a for profit affiliated entity.
