The Universities did nothing in the Internet area for 10 years except play off Telecom and Telstra every couple of years for a connection. About 3 years ago they had the bright idea to go for direct government funding of their Internet by sprouting a few buzzwords which will probably get their connections up to the speed of ADSL2 by the time half the country has it at home. Other than about 20 guys between Auckland, VUW and Waikato the rest of the NZ Universities have less impact on the NZ Internet than The Linux User's groups [1].
