Well, of course the scale is off charts compared to the grant. If you 
look at the 14M euro and divide it by the number of ISP subscribers in 
the EU, it will be like a few cents.  And it's a one-off sum.  Compare 
that to the monthly amount they pay for internet connection.

With these millions someone might be able to build a backup in case ISP 
DNS is broken (for not-too-many people at once).  But it sounded like 
"they" imagine it capable of *constantly* servicing a significant 
fraction of EU subscribers (like Google does, for example), without any 
hint about how the operation costs could be financed.

Or yes, as (5) suggests, in DNS SW a similar sum can make a really big 
difference, but I can't be impartial there :-)
