Bandwidth Concerns (Score 1)

Surely one of the reasons for doing this is not to preserve bandwidth. I'm an undergrad at MTU (http://www.mtu.edu/) in the middle of nowhere, MI. We are so far north from the rest of the world that we got 7" of snow this morning (not even a record for today). Even here we have no problem getting a fair amount of bandwidth, even if it's in a single bundle of fiber than happens to get cut a lot. So being in San Antiono, access to some fast connections shouldn't be any problem.
