Where did you hear about cutbacks at NASA? I haven't
been able to find anything about it on the web.

I can't speak for NASA, but I would guess that it shouldn't affect it. If they need to increase their bandwidth pipes, then it's something they can't live without. Their other alternative is to lay additional fiber, which is even more expensive.

I would imagine that FIBR would give them a pretty good deal because having NASA endorse the product via a sale is worth a lot more than the profit that could be made from a sale at full cost that might prohibit such a sale. Just my opinion.

Nasa is full of dead wood. Here in Houston, the parking lot is full. They could drop 2000 and still be operational. They have a lot of people doing 20 min of work per day and boiling that work load into 8 hrs. My brother works there and all is well.
