I was planning on moving http://*.ucc.asn.au to the bright link, and while 
ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/~nonuwauser would still work, we can strongly encourage 
people to promote nonuwauser.ucc.asn.au only. As for internet access, this 
will be a bit harder since the socks sever contains nasty luyer hacks, but 
given the bright link will provide free net access for the main users 
(non-UWA students) I don't see a huge problem in disabling it.

Our current non-mail traffic is about $70 to mooneye. Mail I'd prefer to 
keep going via UWA for the benefits asclepius provides. So $75/month could 
easily end up costing us more per month than the current arrangement.

Well, I had been planning on at least 2 IPs, so let's go from there. As 
for download limits, it's hard to say a priori just how much we will use. 
As you've already said we will have access until the end of September, 
would it be possible to get the port forwards and everything else set up 
for September, and then we can get some real figures to negotiate on.

As a side note, how will you be giving UCC its own pipe? A separate 10.* 
subnet with specific rules, or what?
