Supposing the congress were to appropriate $400,000,000 in seed money?
How practical is it to attempt to tell the congress in an OTA in some
general way what the expenditure of those funds would buy?
To put it another way is there any conscensus out there as to exactly what
the R&D development agenda is an how costly it will be?
I have a lot of` questions that might flow from this, but await feed back
as to whether this line of discussion is considered to be out of the
subject range of this list.
If I am off subject, would welcome email to tmn!cook@uunet.uu.net and /or
a request for an id on the OTA NREN conference which baring a MAJOR
problem should be fully operational before the end of this coming week.
