Internet Quota

"What the heck is Internet Quota?"

So I had a webinar (web seminar) with AustraLearn last week and I was told that each student receives what is called "Internet Quota." I didn't think much of it at the time, but today I was getting a little curious as to what it is. My findings were not good...

Apparently Australia's Internet infrastructure is not as sophisticated as it is here in the States. Or at least it costs more over there. Whichever the case I am going to be given a quota that I am not supposed to exceed while attending James Cook University. Now I can purchase more if I want to, but I really don't have any idea how much I am going to be given or how much I normally use. While this is a little concerning, I'm sure I'll find a way to deal. Even if it means posting on my blog once a week rather than every few days.

You can read the whole article about Internet Quota I found by clicking HERE.

I guess the Internet is another thing we Americans take for granted.
