We had this going at UBC as well. Since it was all internal LAN traffic, it didn't count against the 7 GB / day upload / download quota which was really tight if you like HD content.

There was one at Cambridge as well. Never bothering using it, but I could see the appeal: * My college limited external traffic to 8GB per 10 day period (this was after we negotiated an increase in 2011). After that, it was a £0.25/GB charge plus throttling (<128Kbps after 15GB usage) * Having an IP address with the reverse DNS entry of <studentID>.<college>.cam.ac.uk made P2P for TV/movies etc. a poor idea (services like MegaUpload were popular though, as was the ad-hoc sharing of files locally)
