Hi Jay,
Do you have something in mind you'd care to propose ? A global infoRad
from Europe to Japan/Australia perhaps ? With any funding luck, you'll
likely be working with us a bit already anyway, on a multi-site multi-
vendor project under neutral auspices.
For the non-medical people, Picker International is one of our medical
imaging competitors, and Jay is a longtime net person who lurks a lot
more than he speaks up. Obviously I don't speak for them, but I would
guess that they were/are looking at service by Internet too and would
find routing wars just as unacceptable.
