Will the TMT have the funding that they need to start the project in February? They have been saying without a doubt that funding is a major concern. Now we have a strange coincidence, where the government has cleared the road, and the government has vowed to back the TMT when the project decides to start. However, the project has vowed to delay the project start until the end of February. Is that a coincidence? How significant is this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of the funding concerns for the TMT <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For example, look at this article from June 2018, where the TMT says that the price of the project went up from 1.4 BIllion to 2 Billion, and that funding is still not certain.

That coincides\u00a0with the recent report that TMT is going to beckon the National Science Foundation for more funding next month since they still are in a major financial disadvantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
