[Year 12 SofDev] Open slather internet

[Stephen Digby]

Should be posted to Off Topic List:
 
Charge them for all internet access.  Give them 50c per week credit so that teachers know that they should
have some for class work.  One account (Papercut) for printing and internet 10c BW, 50c colour A4, 10 Mb
download
 
Minimum account top up of $5.  About 20% of students pay.  Hope that this continues to develop into growing
acceptance that there is a user pays internet access cost on top of school funded essential access.

Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] Open slather internet



 
Hi all,
 
sorry if you get this a couple of times.
 
At the moment we have an open slather internet policy and some kids are downloading excessive amounts. We are
currently considering limiting monthly downloads to 40 MB. Is this too much? What are the limits at your
school? Do you charge students who exceed their limits?
 
Thanks again for help
 
Regards
 
Jim
