For those of you interested in the sci.commtech call for discussion:
an update.  All the feedback has been positive, and much of it has
been enthusiastic.  The idea is to bring together various professional 
backgrounds to a common interest: new communication technologies and
their impacts on society, media industries, organizations, and individuals.
The latest developments in technology would also be posted and discussed.
The difference between sci.commtech and, for example, rec.video or rec.audio,
is that sci.commtech will *not* be the place to post inquiries as to what
equipment one might wish to buy.

There has been some discussion about the name, with sci.comm.tech being
a common suggestion; Usenet authorities tell me sci.commtech is better
as the former implies a second heirarchy.  Another good suggestion is
to call the group sci.infotech.  Please post your reactions to news.groups,
and watch for a call for a vote in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for your interest, and those who have an opinion which has not
yet been expressed, I encourage you to post as soon as possible.

Thanks.
