[More On Soros]
Walt,
Thanks for your interpretation of the S-3. George is truly one hell of a visionary if you're right. And you'd be on hell of a interpretor if he were
.
Do you know, Walt, if Soros is still involved with PSI Net or Earthlink. I think Chatterjee bought in these outfits about the same time as Amati. I got to snooping around and found the following press release:
<<Internet Service Providers Team to Form Internet Operators Group
Inter-ISP Group Will Work to Improve Operational Performance and Technical Integrity of the Internet
Reston, VA, May 20, 1997 Nine of the nation's major Internet service providers announced today the formation of IOPS.ORG, a group of Internet service providers (ISPs) dedicated to making the commercial Internet more robust and reliable. IOPS.ORG will focus primarily on resolving and preventing network integrity problems, addressing issues that require technical coordination and technical information-sharing across and among ISPs. These issues include joint problem resolution, technology assessment, and global Internet scaling and integrity. IOPS.ORG will provide a point-of-contact for these industry-wide technical issues.
The founding members of IOPS.ORG are ANS Communications, AT&T, BBN Corporation, EarthLink Network, GTE, MCI, NETCOM, PSINet, and UUNET, and it is expected that additional national and international Internet operators will join. IOPS.ORG will work with other Internet organizations, with Internet equipment vendors, and with businesses that rely on the Internet. IOPS.ORG members individually will continue to support other Internet organizations such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the North American Network Operators Group (NANOG), and the Internet Society.>>
Now it struck me as curious that 2 of these founding members are/were financed by Soros(Chatterjess) I know George is into Global Networking and Teledemocracy. I recall some controversy surrounding one of the companies (the Scientologists+Earthlink) but am unable to verify if Soros is still holding. Can anyone out there help on this. It would be intriguing if he were. I think George is smart.
