That of course assumes that there is any validity to any 'testing' 
conducted short of putting in place and running software. Where is 
the research background in these mid or low level ISPs to do any of 
that? Out of $300k, surely there is $75k or so withheld to actually 
do the study across all those ISPs? Does anyone know the breakdown on 
the budget?
