Had to trim and post again since this list does not take more than 7K ;-)

Hi Vinay, Looks like this is going to be to be on a BOT ( Built Operate Transfer) basis, so

1. Have they decided or they are in the process of vendor selection , is

there a Tender or RFP on this proposal. 2) Is this news item some sort of arm twisting exercise by Govt to get a better deal from M$ , folks on the ground will know about whats happenign any clues anybody . 3) What kind of support you expect from the community , are these folks who will be working on a campaign for some Vendors be getting paid by Vendor or will they be Hired in some way at a later stage, since this one looks like a long term project if at all it happens.
