Do you agree with the overall proposal: that universities and colleges should be able to use JANET in pursuit of their business and community engagement activities, as far as is possible within the same regulatory framework as that governing use of teaching and research activities? If you do not agree, please summarise your reasons for disagreeing.  Do you have an alternative proposal which would also lead to more effective use of JANET in pursuit of business and community engagement?  If so, please summarise this. If you do agree:

A university or college might choose to retain a commercial ISP for operational reasons, such as ensuring resilience of Internet connectivity via another provider besides Janet, or to lay off liabilities when providing Internet access to students or visitors. Otherwise a separate ISP connection should not be necessary under this proposal, provided that the use of Janet is part of business and community engagement activities.  As suggested in the previous section, where this is patently is not the case the safer option will be to use a commercial ISP connection and services.
