Is kind of funny- working through an upgrade to our London network environment and wrestling with a fat VAT cost. Hard to feel giving of network resources from the private side to the taxman! (Meant with humor.)

Fair enough. I should have re-read your email to remember the original context of the statements before responding. > public-sector entities [...] asking that someone else “solve” the problem for > them e.g. govroam My understanding is the primary goal is for public sector entities to work better with each other (and optionally, places that frequently work with public servants and wish to provide the service). For example, a police officer's devices connect at the police station and the court house, the EMT's devices connect at the hospital and firehouse, etc. As for the security side, fire my previous comment toward the public entities. -- Jonathan Waldrep Network Engineer Network Infrastructure and Services Virginia Tech On Thu, Jan 4, 2018 at 3:20 PM, Jeffrey D.

I’m speaking of all these public-sector entities that can’t seem to support their mobile workforce, and are asking that someone else “solve” the problem for them e.g. govroam. Maybe the solution is to abandon both eduroam and govroam and create a global “unsecureroam” that everyone can use, and understands its posture.

The same false sense of security exists when someone is working from home, and that is something that is already happening all the time. If your security model doesn't account for this, then it is already broken. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss.
