and this email about upgrading BITNET and EARN (bitnet in europe)
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006w.html#email850607

we had been working with NSF director on interconnecting the NSF
supercomputer centers and were suppose to get $20M. Then congress cuts
the budget, some other things happen and finally they release an RFP (in
part based on what we already had running). Preliminary Announcement in
this past post
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002k.html#12
however internal politics prevent us from bidding. The NSF director
tries to help by writing the company a letter (with support from other
agencies), but that just makes the internal politics worse (as does
comments that what we already had running was at least 5yrs ahead of all
RFP responses). As regional networks connect into the centers, it
evolves into the NSFNET backbone, precursor into the modern
internet. also some more description
