Students to get cut-price internet access

The link in the article takes me to the XBox 360 thread?

I need to go back to varsity...
 
Finally we can have descent RIAA lawsuits like other countries :-)
 
The kids these days have it so easy. In MY DAY(2001-2005) we had to pay R400 per month for dial up. If we wanted ADSL we had to wait a month for a line then pay R600 for a 384k line and a 3GB cap. Oh wait, crap, that's still almost what it costs.

No WiFi, and being actually banned from connecting to the lab network on a laptop.

One could only hope :D

"In My Day I Surfed the Net, barefoot, Uphill Both Ways In the Snow, at 0.03 Gbs carrying DRM and extra batteries on our backs while something called a 'cap' would prevent us from having any fun at all."

Usually it's a longing for the good old days, not a longing for the days of future bandwidth.
 
Nice way to spend your CSI budget and for people to think you are good guy.
 
R1m ?? Give it to IS, and what will they do, save for getting "free" marketing... Spend R600k on wages, paying 10 workers for 3-6 months. And then from R300k they will buy 100 Cisco hot-spots. Thats 10 hot-spots per University (most Universities already have more)...

And then we're not talking about the countless hours of support and maintenance that making the service useful will entail.

Cool idea, in theory though, but who has the management and experience to make it work? I wonder...
