Hello, again.
Yes, we are--pending indicators of impact from the beta sites this summer
and fall. With full product development, there may very well be tiered
user fees-- ranging from free but limited access to the Virtual Canyon to
different varieties of paid "subscription" with full access and the CD ROM
net hybrid as well as other offline resources. Of course, this has, is
and will open all sorts of delifghtful IP & C (intellectual property and
copyright) issues for the partners in the project. It isn't dull, that is
for sure!
