The Future of Charm Physics

The CLEO‐c and BESIII detectors at the CESR and BEPC accelerators, respectively, will collect in the near term large data sets of e+e− → cc events in the energy range s = 3 – 5GeV. These data sets will correspond to a huge fractional increase over the size of current ones. The physics goals and unique advantages of running at charm threshold production are discussed.
