@ Zone.
As to colleges, its not bad news, its BRILLIANT news. It means they won't have legal risks if their students trade music. Bandwidth problems are a different matter alltogether. They can impost restirctions, make policies that prohibit file swapping, and decide for themselves what to allow. It only means they wont have LEGAL hassles to worry about in addition to techincal problems.
If your refering to the massive amounts of information throughput that is required. Bandwidth issues are becoming sever in many Colleges and Universities.
Other then MIT which was reported have a wide band OC-128, schools do not have the resources and acquire more line capacity.
Yes.. Making trading legal will allow schools to help in the fair distribution of information. Though this for me is a huge grey area.
Hope I make sence
