In fact, if there is sufficient content, we could devote an entire session in the regional track to the matter (I am on the track leaders committee with particular emphasis, under John Hine's leadership, on the regional track.) Hank, Attla, would either of you be willing to organize such a session? If anybody would care to submit a paper, we are accepting (early) abstracts...(^_^) Thanks, Steve G.

Looking for funding examples
by Hank Nussbacher 13 Jul '94

13 Jul '94

In an effort to convince our government to fund Internet efforts to a greater level, I have been asked to provide examples of other countries where government agencies provide funding for the Internet. I would like to hear from as many national networks of your experiences in this. - What government agency provided the funding? - How many years did this funding cover? - How much money was given? - Was the money provided strictly for universities or universities and R&D or for all of the Internet? - What was bought with the money? T1 lines to the USA? T1 lines nationally? ATM equipment and lines? NIC services? - Anything else you would like to add? Thanks, Hank
