If you look at the entire list of items and the Web
host maintenance - unless you are volunteering -
someone will have to take ownership, buy a domain,
build the Web site, etc.
He was also talking about a worldwide effort.
$100-$170 (minimum) may be pocket change for you
but for many Hams around the world, even in the USA,
spending that to dedicate to a project like this isn't.
And no, private & public entities working together
for a common good is quite common, it's nothing like
a political ad whatsoever.

negotiating a steeply-discounted package price
The original SDRPlay RSP-1 goes out the door for $100. The newer RSP-2
sells for $170. It has more bells and whistles and is said to have a
"shielded layer inside the case." Software is free. I fail to see the
need for a "steeply discounted package price." The RSP-1 is more than
adequate for spectrum-snooping. Besides -- the folks who design, build,
and sell this stuff deserve to make a fair profit, and we want them to
still be in biz when we want support or when we want to buy more.
Coalition of private and public entities? Sounds like a political ad. :)
