This is not unusual, many businesses run several companies Micron21 as 
an example got around $50000 in grant funding split over two separate 
companies.
The one I don't understand at all is all the Universities that got 
funding, mostly because as I understood the legislation the emails that 
were allocated to staff and students would all be classed as the inner 
circle, or whatever it was called.
In other words it would be classed as internal usage, universities are 
not selling internet access to students.
The only one I could understand getting funding as an ISP in the 
education space would be the actual ISPs that provide the carrier 
networks for the Universities such as Aarnet being the main one.
