We have been looking at a similar "Public only" wifi for our schools. The 
outcry for access is growing, and we are feeling the urge to support our 
customers (they being the students and staff of our school district).

What we fear the most is that it will be abused, say a student cyber-bullying 
another student... and we are asked to find out who did what where... which may 
be possible, but not at all something we are looking forward too.
