Valerie - Can you check on whether or not SCF is subsidizing the ports in M306, that appear to be now
unused because it seems they’re using wireless with the laptops now?

There are 11 ports in MA-306. 10 are billed to MIT643 and 1 is billed to MMAI01.
Resolution:
Chuck Harris agreed to visit Math 306 to find out if these ports are currently being used and if they
should continue to receive SCF subsidy.
