The Costs of VCG

The VCG was originally a project of TU Graz, in which later all Graz universities and then also the UAS participated financially. However, the technical operation is carried out by the "network department" of the ZID of TU Graz, which was financed as follows until 2016:
  1. The Internet costs (approx. EUR 135,000/year) are borne by the responsible Federal Ministry and also include the ACOnet participation fee.
  2. The local line rentals (approx. EUR 110.000/year) have to be paid by the dorms from 2008 on, until 2007 the (lower) costs (for the old lines) were paid by the Graz universities.
  3. The costs for hardware, maintenance, support and operation of the VCG are borne by the partner organizations according to the share of the residents.
As of the end of 2016, the internet costs continue to be borne by the Federal Ministry, the costs for line rental are paid by the dorms and the costs for hardware, maintenance and operation are now also paid by the dorms, namely EUR 1.00 per resident (or account) and month.
