Over 2 months ago, on 09.11.04 I asked them at the umiacs.umd.edu when they
expected the finished 3" SRTM to be available and I was told:

| We are currently in the process of transferring the data into our office.
| We then need to process it before we post it on our website. So,
| currently, there is no time table for when the finished SRTM datasets
| will be available. An announcement will be posted on our website
| when progress has been made.  Hope this helps.

and later:

| "Finished" SRTM data is already available for purchase fromt he EROS Data
| Center. For more information on the production of the 'finished' SRTM
| product, please refer to the USGS SRTM web page. http://srtm.usgs.gov/

I thought you might be interested in this. Does it seem like they are trying
to commercialize the 3" SRTM - at least temporarily?

Cheers,
