I think Randy raises a valid question which I have not seen response to
on nren-discuss@psi.com (NREN discussion list). Can anyone provide a
reasonable argument why NREN funding should not be provided to the
end user organizations? The end user organizations could then purchase
the services they need/desire from the provider of their choosing.
