What business are you trying to get out of specifically? OpenRoaming is a way for federations of organizations and/or individual organizations to interconnect. Eduroam would start to mean “less” to end users, as they wouldn’t see an “eduroam” ESSID anymore, but there is still value in a trust framework for educational organizations, especially when it comes to identity.
If you decide not to provision users with your university identity, you will likely have no access to that users real identity. I imagine you still want access to identity for your own users and devices? At its core, OR is simply a few extra elements in the profile that gets put on the device provisioning. OR itself, also does not provide client provisioning. You still need to do that, or pay for a service that will do it. I think, personally, that there is a major lack of understanding throughout the industry of what OR actually is. tim From: Jeffrey D.

Why not the other way around, and standardize on OpenRoaming, and have everything else become a member of it? Do we still need eduroam at that point? Do we care if the client device is using their ATT, Spectrum, or college credentials? I’m reminded that in EDU we often fix problems nobody cared much about at the time e.g. eduroam, but as the world matures, and there are perhaps better alternatives, why not get out of the business? There are costs to operate eduroam, and if it’s no longer strategic or different from other services e.g. OpenRoaming, why not put those resources into something that is strategic and a differentiator? Why wouldn’t Internet2 and its members focus on adoption of OpenRoaming rather than a new and possibly duplicative service like anyroam?

At least for the US, we plan to have an Open-Roaming gateway at ANYROAM. We became member of the WBA for that purpose back in May 2020. The idea is to simplify connectivity for schools: you have one connection with ANYROAM, and all your roaming traffic is sorted by us (Open-Roaming, eduroam, Govroam, …). No need to be turn your school’s RADIUS server into a complex gateway. We are working on a document that we will post at anyroam.net<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fanyroam.net%2F&data=02%7C01%7Ctim.cappalli%40MICROSOFT.COM%7C41aa639e53094c114be008d842c60ebf%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637332765717534156&sdata=JT6i9sSEm0DSYqSzcaFJLiv6MT5C62Ou32pl5B25bXo%3D&reserved=0> in a few weeks.
