- Can we speculate what the change in administration may do with this?
- The Clinton/Gore campaign stessed renewed infrastructure, and I
- believe they specifically called for the funding of a "data highway"
- system, similar in scope and effort to that which produced the
- Interstate Highway System.

- To me, this indicates that if telecom industry lobbyists do their job,
- there should be no problem getting amortization rates for telecom gear
- down to those of computer gear, at least in the next four years!
