Hi,

Here at Cornell, we are planning to move from a semesterly billing plan to
a monthly billing plan for ResNet.  Currently, we bill our students
directly for the service at $102.50 per semester.  With the move to monthly
billing, we are looking at the question of how many months to bill for?  Do
we bill for a full academic year over nine months, thereby including the
winter intersession when the vast majority of our subscribers are absent;
or do we bill over the eight months that most of our subscribers are
actually resident (possibly billing an extra intersession month for those
on-campus during winter break)?

If you bill monthly for ResNet, how do you do it?  Do you just bill every
month throughout the academic year, or do you handle the fall-spring
intersession differently?  And, either way, does it break down in the end
to 8 months or 9 months?

Any feedback would be most appreciated.
