Lots of people. Lots and lots.
I really don't think so.
The scope of the products you mention is small, government projects are going to be a lot bigger scale, involve trying to interface to other, possibly seriously legacy, systems.

Then there's all the usual political stuff to get past - people working for the government aren't going to be that helpful when coordinating with outsiders, is my guess. Especially when they can't rely on any deliverables.
