I promised NANOG a paper on NSFNET funding and then dropped off the map (to get some real work done...). It is now available: An Overview of NSFNET 4090 Awards 1986-1996 ------------------------------------------- http://www.silkroad.com/papers/ (postscript format only) There is certainly plenty of controversial issues for the readers enjoyment ;) Comments, both positive and negative welcome (however the chances of getting a reply are better with positive comments :-).
