I would say that's highly dependent on your geographical location. In Montana I could see that as being true, but not in NYC, for example...

I'd say it also depends on the nature of studies at the school, too. A general liberal arts school might have different needs than one heavy on science and engineering. Throw in some specialized resource like a radio telescope or nuclear research lab and it changes even more as those research data are shared among other collaborators at other institutions.
It also depends on how much file-sharing the students are doing... --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
