What ever it may be, I now it is not exactly good.
Mostly because of the potential abuse and misuse of what it be done.



The United States Department of Defense (DOD) may marshal significant resources--as it did during the 1941 to 1946 Manhattan Project—to drive ECN research, development and testing. DOD is the only entity in the United States with the capability to fully fund ECN programs.


That tells me it has a military purpose, support of my opinion that it is not good.
