“Free PACER” bill advances through Senate judiciary unanimously
Can someone familiar explain why the AO thinks it would take $2 BILLION and 9 years to implement? Similarly (on a significantly smaller scale), why would it take $XX Million and 3 years to implement?<p>From a total noobs perspective (mine), it seems that all they would have to do is remove the paywall; assumedly there was already a security review of the product, so this should involve removing blockers and not necessarily reimplementing the wheel.<p>Where do those numbers and estimates come from? They seem wildly inflated to someone not in the govt industry, but I assume (perhaps generously) that there is some internal logic behind it...
