Won't this show up in a balance sheet somewhere for the companies?

- cvosteen 13y agoI would assume no, especially since these companies are sworn to secrecy when they participate in these programs. Any equipment purchases would have to be offset by reimbursements from the NSA, such that they do not have those assets on the books.
- samstave 13y agoIt is probably more along the lines of paying directly the contractors to build out the infra/supporting-infra for these. NSA requires gear in a rack, NSA pays some defense contractor-integrator to show-up and install the gear. Pays for whatever telco to install a new demarc etc. The company just needs to point to the locations and provide badge access to spaces etc.
- wmf 13y agoYes, it will show up in their internal accounting. So what?
