I understand there is some consternation over these costs even though we 
are not paying them directly.

Currently all VPN traffic is accounted for by the RADIUS server, and 
there is a script to process these logs and produce simple output.

mussel:/var/log/freeradius/radacct/130.95.13.3# cat detail-201103* | python process.py
       Username    Down (MB)    Up (MB)
           cssc:        238          5
          maset:          0          0
(etc.)

Would monthly emails to committee-only be helpful?

The wireless traffic is not accounted because of the limitations of the 
current access point; perhaps it is time to upgrade our AP to a .11n 
implementation with something that support RADIUS accounting (e.g. 
anything that runs hostapd, Cisco Aironet gear, etc.)
