Many Universities struggle to properly fund their voice and data networks.
We are pleased to announce that UC has succeeded in creating a model and obtaining funding approval to normalize data and phone rates. For generally funded departments, the entire cost of data connections will be centrally funded, within a University cap of 10,750 ports. Many of you may remember receiving a telephone subsidy from General Funds in the late 1980s, when the new telephone switch was installed. Funding for data ports will be provided partially through a reallocation of previously subsidized general funds telephone budgets that will no longer be needed to pay for telephones. Both of these subsidies will be placed in your 3027 object code.
