If you are waiting for the Montana report to clear up everything, I'm
afraid that you will be disappointed.
If anything, FARNET's recommendations, when they are drafted, will
probably add to the questions that most people have about the path
the Internet providers are traveling. There are lots of tough questions
that remain to be answered. Most of us don't pretend that we know all the
answers. And, with the landscape changing all of the time, most people
have a plateful of information to sift before coming to firm conclusions.
But, on the other hand, this is surely an exciting time, almost an E ticket
ride. And, it looks like the next year or two will stay exciting. So,
hold on to your hat, because the Montana report isn't going to stop the
ride.
