>From what I have  seen of IS departments at schools, and school
dietricts as well as what I have seen of a couple of schools who have
entered into agreements with ISPs to become providers to parents and
students and members of the local community.....I would say NO.

Reasons:::
Most if not all IS departments are undermanned.
Modem pools are a giant headache
Real people in the real world expect real service--schools are not in the
 real world
Schools would be expected to subsidize those who cant afford service but
would NEVER be compensated for the cost to do so.
Most school IS DEPARTMENTS DO NO UNDERSTAND CURRENT TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS


This list could go on and on but the bottom line is that schools are a
poor choice as providers in any just about any scenarion that I can think
of. As a hub for some local surrounding schools you might get my
attention. Otherwise forget it.


Cheers!
