Since it's unlikely they're on NSFNet directly, isn't the issue that they
may have taken money to get hooked to the regional (NYSERNet or NEARNet?),
or it's the regional's AUP rather than NSF's?
Maybe a for-profit company should be allowed to locate on campus, or the
college should be allowed to re-sell. After all, campus bookstores don't
check id's when selling books.
This is a real issue that I had not seen discussed before. Steve or the
regional folks, do you have any thoughts?
