Abstract: Abstract How do the wheels come off in a venture? Often in multiple ways. It was the end of 1997 and with $2 million already cut from our budget, many of the technical groups at MCNC were starting to feel the pressure from the State subsidy curtailment. At the same time, Shelby’s short circuiting of good risk management practices in support of the networking group’s full court press into gaming networks began to show signs of impending doom. Proserve would have been an incremental, low-cost step towards commercial activity for the networking group. In contrast, the gaming network was becoming an increasingly high-cost, all-or-nothing adventure into the unknown. Things got eerily quiet in the fishbowl.
