Form what I've seen at a few colleges, it comes down to the CIS/tech
department and budget, as well as paranoia. with an open network their
afraid f leechers, closed people may be filtered from accessing
certain websites, as well as resources. my campus's wifi filters
outgoing FTP access, SMTP, and just about everything but port 80.
a good solution for schools, (that I just flashed three fon AP's over
to) is open-mesh, combine that with a local RADIUS server tied into
the student/staff lisit, use OpenDNS o control the filtering for you,
and be all set.

Do any of you have experience with Devry, specifically their now
horribly bad wireless network? Apparently they used to have a good
network, that is no longer the case; I'm wondering if socalfreenet
ever approaches schools in an effort to provide the school with help
building a good wireless network.
Thanks
