CURRENT SITUATION
Currently the entire PUC campus shares a 45 megabit/s
T3 line. Bandwidth is shared amongst all administration,
seven dormitories, offices, labs, the library, and lastly
all
wireless access points on campus. With an eleven percent
increase in students this quarter alone there has been
placed a higher strain on bandwidth which has lowered
almost all students internet experience at PUC. To add
to this issue there is no quota based management system
to guarantee an equal bandwidth across all users which
has created for a few users hogging up most of the
bandwidth. Currently the internet is based upon an open
variable rate that gives for unequal rate distribution and
academics as well as entertainment capabilities has gone
even lower than the year previous.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The first way to share the internet equally is to
implement the use of a quota based management system
that limits students to an equal rate based on traffic at

THE PROPOSAL
Provide each student with the ability to use the internet
for both leisure and study. As college students to whom
most do not have cars, it is difficult to be stuck on-
campus without most standard internet resources such as
FaceBook, YouTube, and other various video based sites,
skype, and others. To a college student it is a way to
connect to the world around us. We do not just go to
school here we live here.
Therefore let it be proposed that administration charge all
on-campus students an internet fee of$81.90 to be
laced on January 2010s student bill for the purpose of
increasing the internet bandwidth from 45 Mbps to 500
Mbps to be split between academic and dorms by way of 25
Mbps and 475 Mbps, respectively. May it also be proposed
hat a management system be implemented that provides
or enforcing an equal bandwidth pipeline within both
academic and the dorms by setting limits to be agreed upon
by further analysis and use of said management system

Dear PUC Students,
Your SA Officers as well as the Student Senate are aware of the
condition of the campusinternet speed and are planning on
presenting a plan to the administration to upgrade thesystem,
making it more usable and efficient for students. This change
includes an increaseof campus bandwidth from 45 megabits/second to
1000 megabits/second. This woulddramatically increase the current
speed anywhere from 20x-25x. Measures will beimplemented to prevent
users from hoarding the bandwidth through a Quota ManagementSystem
that places everyone on the same rate dependent on the amount of
user traffic atany time. Please be aware that this will include an
internet fee added on your existingtechnology fees for the academic
year to the amount ranging between $110-120/year.
This would be a part of your student bill.

SCHEDULE OF CASH FLOWS (JAN-AUG 2010)
ITSSs remaining balance for internet services would be allocated
until depletion from January 2010 through the beginningof March
2010. Student fees would be placed upon the student bill for the
beginning winter quarter bill and paid by the endof January. Any
remainder at the end of the year shall be prorated back to each
student as a risk default premium refund, ifstudents are no longer
at PUC in the following (2010-2011) school year the remaining funds
will be placed back into ITSSfor their following year budget to
reduce internet service costs for students. After this the student
fees would be depletedover the rest of the periods remaining. Funds
could be invested in a short-term investment that could be
withdrawn monthly,
such as a Money Market Account, investment account, or other
various savings accounts with higher yields that have abalance
requirement of between $0-20,000. Currently these types of accounts
yield between .1%-2.25% dependent upon thebank. This could reduce
the costs by up to 0.57 per student. Due to the fact that this is
such a low number, no

The Proposal
Provide each student with the ability to use the internet for
both leisure and study. As college students to whom most do not
have cars, it is difficult to be stuck on-campus without most
standard internet resources such as FaceBook, YouTube, and
other various video based sites, skype, and others. To a college
student it is a way to connect to the world around us. We do
not just go to school here we live here.
Therefore let it be proposed that administration charge all
on-campus students an
internet fee of $81.90 to be placed on January 2010s student
bill for the purpose of
increasing the internet bandwidth from 45 Mbps to 500 Mbps to be
split between
academic and dorms by way of 25 Mbps and 475 Mbps, respectively.
May it also be
proposed that a management system be implemented that provides
for enforcing an equal
bandwidth pipeline within both academic and the dorms by setting
limits to be agreed
upon by further analysis and use of said management system until
a later period by
ITSS.
The above said internet fee would cover the difference between
the remaining ITSS internet services budget of $22,002
and the total cost of the January-August 2010 internet service
costs, $94,457, plus a percentage default risk premium of 10%
or $9,445, based upon a 1,018 current on-campus total with an
expected drop of up to 18 to create for an 1,000 estimated
total during the period (Winter Quarter) when the said fee would
be applied. This would bring the total collected fees up to
$103,902.
