Hi Charles,

</div>
<div>
Haven't considered 44Net. Would enjoy knowing the benefits of have a 44Net address.

How are you using or hoping to use 44Net? Let me know.

From the latest ARDC newsletter:
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
44Net assessment under way
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
“Legitimately stoked!” That’s how Rosy Schechter, KJ7RYV, ARDC Executive
</div>
<div>
Director, described how she feels about the recently started 44Net
</div>
<div>
Assessment.
</div>
<div>
44Net is a precious resource, and there are many ideas for how to use and
</div>
<div>
organize it going forward. Before engineering a solution, we need data
</div>
<div>
about its current state, which is where the assessment comes into play.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
ARDC has hired the consulting company, TwoP, to manage the assessment,
</div>
<div>
asking questions like:
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
- How much of the 44Net address space is currently being used and who is
</div>
<div>
using it?
</div>
<div>
- Why aren’t more amateur radio operators using 44Net? What are the pain
</div>
<div>
points
</div>
<div>
or challenges to using these resources?
</div>
<div>
- What would make 44Net more usable in the future?
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
With this information, we can make better decisions on how we can improve
</div>
<div>
44Net and how to best invest in it, in terms of both staffing and technical
</div>
<div>
operations. Stated otherwise, this work will make us better stewards of
</div>
<div>
44Net.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
The majority of this work will happen March through May of 2022, with a
</div>
<div>
full report to be published shortly after. Keep an eye on the blog and
</div>
<div>
44Net mailing list for opportunities to participate. Please reach out to
</div>
<div>
<a href="mailto:contact@ardc.net">contact@ardc.net</a> with any questions.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Disclosure: TwoP is a consulting firm run by Tim Pozar, who is a member
</div>
<div>
of our TAC. His business partner, Matt, will be running the assessment.
