We have the ability to do sponsored access via our NAC and have considered it.  However, our Librarians feel that the library computers should be open to guests as well.
 
Is anyone offering guest access to those who do not have a computer or wireless device?  If so how are you doing that?
 
Thanks

> From a session I attended last year at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference, the methods ranged anywhere from complete open access to timed access charged against a credit card. 

> We are setting up a tiered system.  Right now, we have just 2 tiers -- every day users (registered) and unsponsored guests.  Anyone who uses the guest network shares a whopping 1Mbs Internet connection and has a limited set of applications that can be used (web/ssl, microsoft/apple patching, imap/pop, dns, dhcp, vpn).  If they need more access, they need to request it until we get our "sponsored guest" tier in place.
