Well, the request for comment lasts a while longer, it was the
roundtable that I'd like to at least get a question
in on. I would not mind trying to flesh out this idea with a couple
co-authors, (hint hint) for submittal to the program.
3.8b for better bandwidth for the underserved ain't scratch, and even
a tiny slice of that would go a long way 'round here.
But merely raising awareness that there is an internet problem that
can be solved within this program with huge benefits, for next to
nothing, would make me happy enough.
