Twitter supposedly spends huge amounts on infrastrucutre and messaging fees. If they could get a substantial percengate of schools to sign up even at $100/year, they'll come out ahead because presumably these school channels won't have as much traffic as, say , Robert Scoble's.

They're after subscribers, so they would want all schools to sign up. Perhaps better than this, Facebook should move on this immediately and make that little "what I'm doing right now" section (forgot what they call it) into their own set of Twitter-like features. All the students would already be signed up and the schools would just need to activate the channel. Great idea for schools to have a Twitter channel but it doesn’t need to be the business model.
