How you chose that ANSP & fund it is a political decision.
it shouldn’t last much longer, centralised monopolies with no proper scrutiny lead to huge waste and inertia, not to mention the issues with single points of failure and ‘whitewashing’ the facts we’ve seen.
Distributed technologies mean you will soon be able to have proper and resilient decentralised markets without the current barriers to entry that exist and the ‘pretend competition’ we have at the moment.
Of course, your ANSP has to have some competency in technology. But thanks Corp Comms.
