Re: Choruss: micropayments from ISPs to copyrightholders

["Tonkin, Derek K." <Derek_Tonkin () BAYLOR EDU>]

We would be interested in more detail on this as well.  We got a group together to listen to a webcast about this, I 
think it was put on by Educause, and several questions were asked about the pricing but no real answers were given.  
The whole presentation was more confusing than informative and left us with the impression that it was mostly vaporware 
at this point.  Any actual information about the implementation and expected costs would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Does anyone know any details about the cost model, and what a university
might have to pay?  Have any universities signed on?

The Wired article cites a cost of "south of $5" per student per month.  I'm
wondering if that is just residential students or all students.
