Yeah mostly, although in some countries the NREN remit extend a bit beyond
"traditional"
higher education to include related govt agencies, k12 etc.

In Sunet we would probably take a similar approach: the SWAMID federation is
part of
the NREN service infra and as such requires that the customer is connected to
the
network. I would not go as far as saying that there would *never* be a case
when we
might bend that rule... but that would then probably be a decision at the
board level
in our case.
As always ymwv, hope this helps.
