They're always squishy.
Let's look at HIPPA.
It should have been implemented.
But it's not.
why?
because what Congress can mandate, it can also push back.
Another example: HD TV.
it's being pushed back as well.
Anyone who brings me a b-plan with the statement. "The industry will have to change, since Congress said so" gets knocked a few points for believing that GOVERNMENT will create a favorable environment for a start-up in time for the start-up to survive/succeed.
Look at DHS, it's taken a year to create the infrastructure, just so they'll be able to act like a Dept!
Markets react faster, pay faster, and will be very clear in who they reward and who they ignore.
