Pretty much, at least in the current economy. Governments started to lose their leadership roles in tech in the '80s, with post-Cold-War spending cuts and the PC revolution, and that role had pretty much entirely slipped through their fingers by the 1990s. Governments still make tech policies (and fund lots of pointless pilot projects), but since the Web came along they've generally ended up following the private sector, and a couple of years late at that. In other words, no matter what policy governments make today, they will end up doing the same as the rest of us tomorrow. All the best, David -- David Megginson david@m... http://www.megginson.com/
