Recently I followed some conversation on the CLUG mailing list where one of the cant uni guys pointed out in no uncertain terms that the Uni was not in the business of providing internet. They are looking at setting up proprietary systems that only people who are either a student or staff have access to. What is the policy of your university? In Australia the universities have just signed a 15 year contract with NextGen for 10gbits of national links. What capacity do NZ unis currently have in place?
