ISC
Several
Networking & Telecommunications service and rate changes will
go into effect starting July 1, 2002. Most of these changes are
the result of recommendations made by the Network Planning Task
Force, the cross-campus team made up of undergraduate and graduate
students, faculty, and staff that meets to discuss and resolve
issues surrounding the planning and funding of PennNet (see
www.upenn.edu/computing/group/nptf/archive/2001/State_of_Union_12-17-01/index.htm).
