After the wave of mergers, attempted mergers, unmergers, and all the related
investigations by the EU and DOJ; I think most of the providers know how
to give each other notice by now :-)

ACRI wasn't one of the names normally associated with inside the beltway
research projects.  SAIC or Mitre are more likely candidates.  Before they

it looks like its an open research project.
