RE: Undoing Monopoly by E-Mail

  Keep in mind that some of the monopolistic practices
  are actually cultivated and controlled by the National Science
  Foundation (NSF). This is especially tru in the area of
  resource allocation for the Internet.
  
  The Senators appear to be clueless about how the NSF
  spends its $3.5 billion dollar annual budget. With that much
  money the NSF can influence the markets and make and
  break companies. As we have seen with the Internet, companies
  gather around the NSF money that flows in the Virginia suburbs.
  Via this biased flow they build their monopolistic empires.
