This sounds very much like Internet2's policy in the US, and CA*Net 4's policy in Canada. The observable result of this policy at a few US universities that I have talked to is that their trunks to the commercial internet are chock-a-block full of file sharing and pr0n for 90% of the day, and their i2 links sit idle.
I thought that Internet 2 was full of file sharing protocols (maybe it was botnets). Certainly it could make a change from the 2004 nznog where Kewin Stoeckigt complained about getting charged $0.10 - $0.40 per Megabyte. In a couple of years time people will be asking their University friends to download media for them, just like they did back in the 1990s. -- Simon J.
