  4. Some questionsfrom Steve Hogger, JANET(UK) • What steps are NRENs taking to ensure they can continue to fund their networks? • Are NRENs (considering) charging customers and institutions for basic connectivity services (as opposed to additional services)? • Are NRENs (considering) using alternative charging mechanisms e.g. usage-based? What obstacles or problems do they envisage with this? • Do customers and institutions use alternative providers or networks to the NREN (or have they suggested they might)? • Do NRENs obtain (or are they planning to obtain) alternative sources of income from e.g. other sectors e.g. Health or via other commercial operations? How do they charge for these? • Are there any ways in which NRENs could further develop and share services to reduce costs or provide income?
