Pretty interesting telling of the Internet2, National LambdaRail  
marriage by one of our reporters at Network World. BobB

Can two research networks find true love and happiness as one?

This is the burning question in the continuing love/hate saga of  
Internet2 and National LambdaRail (NLR), two non-profit research  
networks that have been promising – threatening even – to merge for  
the past two years. The latest twist in this soap opera occurred this  
week when the two organizations issued an update on merger talks that  
were apparently – and very quietly – rekindled last month after an  
acrimonious split late last year.
