The Tennessee Board of Regents has rejected a proposal that would have imposed a mandatory Napster fee on all the students in the 45 schools represented by the board. The fee would have kept RIAA from suing the students, but at a staggeringly high price -- $9.99 per student per month.
According to calculations made by The Register, Tennessee students would have paid $1.8 per month for using Napster. Even though schools like Penn State and the University of Rochester have been able to reach financially lucrative deals with Napster, other schools can expect to pay alot more for the services.
