well, Starting June 1, 2008, Cornell's network usage-based billing (NUBB) will be changed in these ways for all students:
(1) For students, Internet usage to or from off-campus sites via Cornell's Wi- Fi (RedRover) networks will be included. NUBB already includes this type of usage on the wired networks. Use of Cornell's web sites and services is not counted, and will not be counted, as a result of this change.
(2) Students will have 10 GB (gigabytes) per month instead of the current 5 GB per month for Internet usage to or from off-campus sites.
(3) For students, only usage above 10 GB per month will be billed, at the same rate as today, which is $0.0015 per additional MB (megabyte).
(4) Usage will be tracked by student NetID, instead of by IP address.
(5) For students, a preview NUBB system will be available from April 1 through May 31. The preview will show each student's wired and Wi-Fi (RedRover) usage, and can be used to see what fees, if any, would have been incurred. Students will not be billed for Wi-Fi charges during the preview period.
Between now and June 1, NUBB will continue as it does today. None of the changes listed above apply to faculty and staff.
