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. -- Dr. Bruce C.
