I think about it every time I get a ticket that says, "my phone won't work on wireless, but my roommate's does. This is clearly a network problem that must be fixed immediately!" :)
The biggest issue that I've run into with this is that we have a "Residential Learning" environment and there are classrooms in all of our residence halls. We don't want to risk BYOA crushing the wireless for our academic programs in the res halls. Then there's the case of once you pull the lid off of that beast, there's no going back, at least in our environment. Once we tell 10,000 residential students that they can have at it with their own APs, there's no way to backtrack if it causes the problems that I can foresee. I'd love to see consumer devices start to have some more intelligence that would allow them to play a little better in enterprise like environments. It would alleviate a TON of financial pressure for us.
