Hello,
Similar in Hungary. According to rules governing operations
and service delivery of KIFU. We can provide NREN services to two
groups:
- all public primary and secondary schools,
- all educational, research (including libraries, museums and public collections) institutions (and related organisation) which is joining to NREN group.
Joining to the NREN user group might happen without using NREN
network (of course some services are not available for non NREN
network users e.g. DDoS protection).
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Janos
Hi
We had the same approach in France before: connecting to the NREN network allows to join Identity Federation and access to other services.
This changed, and now institutions can subscribe to a « services package », that allows to use our services – including identity federations, but also eduroam, and other digital services we propose.
Regards
Geoffroy

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.
