One of my scripts accidentally clipped out a line from Steve's message. His next to last paragraph should read: I believe that you'd need at least the first three items: connection to school; connection in school; and hardware in order to provide Internet access. Adding up the initial and ongoing you get a range of ~$23B to ~$35B. And most of us would agree that prof. dev. is also need to make this all work. Sorry for the glitch. I have fixed this in the on-line archive, but I wanted to correct it for people who are following the seminar by e-mail. Bob Carlitz Moderator
