We don't get charged for Bright link traffic, but we do get charged
for AARNet traffic. The AARNet link would be fast enough, but as I
understand it, the use of that connection is restricted to University
staff and students only (and for that reason, I didn't think UCS were
allowed to make logons for conference attendees and so on).
As far as I know, the only reason we couldn't use the AARNet link
instead is political (plus the fact that it costs money). I don't see
any technical reason why we couldn't provide conference attendees with
internet access via the AARNet link... but I have no idea how to go
about doing that myself.
