The NSFnet no longer exists as a physical network. It's just a
metanetwork on top of ANSnet, right? And ANS is a company which wants
to make money, or has subsidiaries which want to make money, or
whatever. I'm sure that there's some price for which ANS will install
a new ENSS. Then, you would need NSF permission to be an "official"
NSFnet site. But I would think the ENSS is merely a problem of money.
