It is not just Apple. Many vendors, Dell, Linksys, DLink, etc... are starting to merge content and delivery devices with a whole host of wireless enabled media equipment.
Here are just two links: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&sku=A1735461 http://www.dlink.com/products/category.asp?cid=127&sec=0 In the end, it is probably just going to get worst making it increasingly difficult for University's to deliver quality of service for the masses. Combine this problem with the constant struggle of housing and resident life departments to be competitive with off-campus housing puts us IT people in the middle of the struggle with the end result being a "no win scenario" where we are perceived as the all-controlling villain. Especially, when you throw issues related to security, CALEA, RIAA, etc... If anyone out there has a solution to this dilemma, I'd love to hear it. Unfortunately, all I can see is situation that will tend to grow like a wild forest fire with our garden hose of educating the populous as an attempt to keep things under control. Ideas?

We have 100% coverage but I'm seeing a lot of those Apple Time Capsules pop up. Either individual users want to backup their computer or a suite is sharing one. >>> Rachna Ahlawat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 9/9/2008 12:14 AM >>> Even with 100% coverage, what do think are the reasons that students are still connecting rogues? Are these rogues using .11n? ________________________________ From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter P Morrissey Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2008 5:11 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Roque AP's Has anyone had any success dealing with Rogue AP's? Is anyone else seeing a lot of them this year? We have 100% coverage in the dorms, and advertise this. We also constantly tell people not to put up rogues, but it is very challenging to control the rogues in our dorms.
