I sure hope that the State of Florida will come up with money for its
teachers and educational system before it starts helping tourists decide
where to drop a line. This project could cost hundreds of thousands of
dollars and it should be done in the private sector. The web service alone
is at least a few hundred thousand dollars to implement and annual
maintenance will not be pennies either.
Similar projects are already underway in the private sector.
