Charging
- JISC has funding shortfall ~ 5M
Large part of cost is transatlantic (T3) bandwidth (~6M already)
T3 link saturated anyway > need to buy more (3M)
But new T3 link will saturate exponentially?
“Do nothing” is not an option
Raise cash to help cover shortfall
Hence charging “unenthusiastically accepted”
(2M to be raised this way)
