Your right on the mark, currently.
What's seemingly left up in the air and uncertain at present is
what happens when our packet free welfare state sobers up come '92 at
the time the NSFNET BB gravy train is derailed?
I'm trying to convince our local regional net to change its illusory
use policy to be more in line with (reality) the other commercial nets
and join the CIX movement.
If every regional did that and joined one or more CIX's -- why would we
even need an NSFNET?
