A Financial Plan was estimated for 120 connections paid for per hall, a total number of 240 connections for both halls. At $100.00 a semester, this predicts a fee of $24,000 a semester. So within a year, phase #1 will be paid for. But after the first year of connection available in the residence halls a low sign up rate was recorded. This could be do to lack of information to the students, and the amount the network card cost.
