It strikes me that UCC's needs will be slightly different to those of most
other "commercial" users of the system, and thus we're willing to tailor the
pricing and services to your needs.

We're looking at offering the service to commercial campus tenants as 1M/1M
(with up to 100M/100M to UWA) with a nominal 30GB download limits (after
which time, more shaping) for around $50-60/month.

I suspect for the UCC, at $75/month we'd remove the download limits and
provide one public IP (and campus VLAN) and would do 1:1 port mapping from
the public IP to an internal one if we were asked nicely. We'd probably want
about $100 from any commercial tenants using this sort of service.

Additional services we'd accept money for include public IP addresses and
greater speeds. Herein specifically lay the points UCC can negotiate on, if
they desire.
