Joe,
On December 1 Joel Maloff wrote to me
"As to Diamond Mine, we have a concept that we use to develop joint marketing
relationships with organizations that appear to be synergistic with our efforts.
This may include a variety of creative approaches, but in all cases, must
provide equal or greater revenue streams to ANS CO+RE as in our published prices
or it isn't considered workable. We are simply doing business, Gordon. There is
nothing strange or sinister. Given that each relationship is, by its nature,
proprietary to our potential "partner", there is nothing more to say. There is
no standard price list nor is there any single approach. Flexibility is the
key."
Can you add anything to this description having worked with the implementors of
the concept?
Also I sent you my newsletter story on what Perot Systems called the great
NSFnet policy switch of last December. Do you have any comment on that?
