I'm guessing the NSF connection program has wound down by now, so this isn't that much of a factor any more.Erm, rather a large number of entities still receive NSF connection funding. It's rather amusing what some of them do with it. :-)
Obviously, someone at the NSF is better qualified than I to comment on this, but the NSF New Connections program is _not_ being "wound down." If fact, it is being expanded. The current New Connections solicitation adds K-12 institutions and vBNS connections. What is being phased out is direct grants to regional networks. Many regional networks were started with direct NSF grants. Often, the regionals rather liked these funds, and pleaded with the NSF to keep them flowing for just a little while longer. NSF Solicitation 93-52 was the NSF's (successful, I believe) effort to end direct subsidies to regional networks. NSF 93-52 offered funds for regional connectivity, (connectivity out of the region, for example, via an NSP), decreasing to zero over four years. -tjs - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
