Make things people want (was Why aproofs of concept considered important)

I'm happy to outline my ideas on how I would approach it if I was in a
position to do so. You'll have to bear with me though, as it will take
several long emails which I won't have time to sit down and write in one
hit, so will spread over a few days.

To start with, in response to your comment below while SSP can be a cash
cow in the right circumstances, it shouldn't be the reason for doing it,
and it would be rather short sighted to only consider it as a cash cow.

For me the main goal is to create a self sustaining infrastructure off
the surface of the planet. To do that means looking beyond SSP and it
will also require competitors as that is not something that could be
brought about in a monopoly. Besides which as soon as it is shown to
work, there will be plenty of people, companies and countries trying to
put their own spin on it, so it's much better to see it as a stepping
stone to other things.
