Hiya - What is the current state of DAS in Higher Ed? Are you using DAS systems on your campus? For coverage or capacity or both? Glad you did? I'm interested to hear stories.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Looking for interest among Wi-Fi professionals
Quick notes on the subject of building a topic-specific social network.. I posed a similar question at the social media constituent group meeting at a previous EDUCAUSE conference. How about I make a new venue for cohort X... I got a resounding NO! from them. They said use existing venues... twitter facebook. But Twitter? Messaging too short, as you said in the original note. Facebook? Too many cats. I am on the board for a local Cisco users group, and we struggle with how to engage with our members between meetings. We throw messaging at an email list, facebook, linked-in and Twitter. Nothing really sticks. We are currently working with the idea of seeding these outlets with conversation starters.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] It would seem FCC just declared WLAN quarantine features illegal
My thought is that the FCC is simply trying to police the ISM band, as outlined in FCC part 15 regulations http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=d5df6d61f643786c6651653f0942fd73node=pt47.1.15rgn=div5 The 2.4GHz ISM band is free an open for everyone to use. If you intentionally disrupt transception, well, I think you might be breaking some part of part 15. I've not read part 15, nor could I even begin to comprehend it. But it gets grey quickly, doesn't it? If you have a rogue AP on your campus, and you mitigate it by sending a spoofed disassociate packet, well, are you jamming? I'm with Lee.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] It would seem FCC just declared WLAN quarantine features illegal
This isn't going to help things much at all. Having consulted into these spaces in the past, and as you know as a you have going to a conference, wifi is just bad in public spaces. Bad bad bad. I am reminded of Steve Job's snafu in 2010, as so well documented in this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoqh27E6OuU The technology needs to step up to the demand. Locations need to provide good wireless networks. That, or be prepared for 570 wireless base stations to show up. I like to think that we provide a wireless network that is adequate enough in coverage, and open enough in access that people don't think they need to bring their hotspots. I also think that if I had a high density space (like U of M's big house, or something) I'd be a little worried about this. (Hi, Dan!)

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] School blocks Wi-Fi access to smartphones to address IP usage issues
Good morning - We do not have this problem. We use RFC 1918 private address space, and NAT (PAT). Traffic is logged through our firewall, so we can account for any nefarious activity (Ya know, DMCA.) I'm not sure I'm trying to start a big discussion as to the pros and cons of PAT, but I'm just suggesting that it's a solution that should not be overlooked. Our larger problem in this area had to do with our NAC. Bradford licenses their system based on number of registered users. And the skyrocketing of devices meant that we had to expand our license.
