SALARIED PERSONNEL Judging from the experiences of older FreeNets in the United States, we project the NCF will attract over 500 information providers and 20,000 subscribers by the end of the demonstration period. To reach these projections growth must be managed carefully and, again from the American experience, this can only be done with a small complement of paid employees. Daily operations of the National Capital FreeNet will be conducted by a small group of paid staff including a project administrator, a systems administrator and five part- time personnel: two subscription and operation assistants, a writer/trainer, a researcher and an accountant.
