Abstract
New generation small telescopes are powerful tools for astronomical research and for educational outreach. GNAT, the Global Network of Astronomical Telescopes, is a non-profit organization whose goals are to implement and operate a global network of relatively small telescopes. GNAT should have nearly infinite upside potential for astronomers and students everywhere. Its Value Per Cost Ratio is enormous.
