The CEN Fiscal Year 2015 Pricing Document outlines proposed revisions to the existing pricing policy, aimed at fixing network usage rates for K-12 public schools. With continued growth projected at 40-50% per year, average usage is expected to reach 14 Gb in FY15, leading to a decrease in the cost per unit. As the state covers 100% of K-12 network usage, the funds available for discounts on education and municipal rates are diminishing. Overall rates continue to decline, impacting both member and open-access rates positively.

CEN – FY 15 Pricing • (Includes Internet, transport, and Internet2) Proposed revision to existing policy to fix usage for the Fiscal Year and recalibrate annually when the rates change.
Narrative • K-12 Public School usage continues to grow at 40-50% per year. This usage is expected to average 14 Gb in FY15. This growth rate continues to dominate the usage model, dropping the total cost of a unit by $6.79 • Because the state covers 100% of the public K-12 usage of the network, and their percent of using the network continues to grow, fewer funds are available to discount education and municipal rates. • Continued growth will have positive impact on overall rates, with a diminished impact on the difference between member and open access rates. • CEN and Municipal Member rates continue to decline as total network rates fall. In FY15, member usage rates fell by 1.07 / Mb. • Rise in salary costs includes anticipated costs for CET Executive Director position.
