What a revoltin' development this is! The abruptly
announced curtailment of the OIG BBS
service raises several disturbing qbuestions, about which I would appreciate
any and all
insight:
1. What does this mean for the availability of "classified" elsets?
2. Will this impede rapid monitoring of (private
or institutuonal) reconnaisance satellite
manoeuvres?
3. How long has this action been planned?
4. Is there any possible relationship to intelligence
community concerns over public
knowledge about satellite activities (i.e., India/Pakistan's
satellite avoidances last month)?
Thanks in advance.
