@bwag @ntnsndr 1) they are currently getting major policy support, and there are no network effects like the US government

2) I think precisely the problem is that they assume the only way to build is with VC-style startups, when key internet infrastructure (ARPANET, GPS, Wikipedia, Linux) developed in other ways

@lukeshu @ntnsndr I actually already expanded the script to change the filename if one exists
