And why do u think the Amuta should get the money? it could be possible that the goverment ask the Amuta about company or companies who speciallize for XYZ projects and the Amuta should connect the goverment with the company (or companies). It could also be possible that those companies will need to give a status report every month about the development status of the project to the Amuta, which will report back to the goverment. > I suppose that a company like IBM, which has provably done good work in > this area, is going to get a substantial chunk of the money to persuade it > to continue its work.
