In your guys opinion, is that good or bad? Privately funded would mean proprietary & profit driven implementation for such a crucial technology (if successful). I personally don't like it.

The CPC still maintains a lot of influence over companies even when they're getting their funding from private industry as part of their "politics in command" strategy for controlling market forces. We'll see how it plays out.

i don't know why you got a downvote, disappearinga CEO should be the most popular thing the ccp does

I don’t mind profit driven because I’m confident that free markets are good for everybody.
