It appears that you are defining the notion of "building Internet Infrastructure"
to be modem pools, leased lines, routers, servers, etc.

Maybe I should have said...
	building Infrastructure for the emerging Registry Industry (RI)...

In my opinion, one of the duties of the InterNIC contractors
was (or is) to build additional Infrastructure for the emerging
Registry Industry (RI). I guess this is referred to as "Intellectual
Infrastructure" by the NSF and the InterNIC (NSI+AT&T)

@@@@ <http://rs.internic.net/announcements/iif-update.html>

"Intellectual Infrastructure Funds
...
placed into an interest-bearing account which will be used for
the preservation and enhancement of the "Intellectual Infrastructure"
of the Internet in general conformance with approved Program Plans."
...
"The composition of the Intellectual Infrastructure Advisory Panel,
and the general policies and procedures related to that panel
are the subject of continuing negotiations between Network Solutions,
the National Science Foundation, and representatives of the
Internet community."

Does anyone know who is on the "Intellectual Infrastructure Advisory Panel" ?
	If so, is that posted somewhere ?
