Ok, not to jump in with an irrelevant conversation, but when I talked to a former CIO of a big university, he pointed out that the strength of internet-2 was in peering, that the biggest uni's who join the I2 network will be factoring in a peering factor when their universities are charged for internet access.
regular old ISPs do exactly the same thing - to some extent, the university is just another ISP which can peer with whatever will lower its total costs for bandwidth and data line leases. elijah
So hypothetical only, charges would disappear and couldn't be tracked, although traffic would of course not disappear (isn't that the truth).
