Since this is an enterprise issue, why exclude them from the petition?
If some big enterprise customers governments were on the petition, it would
have a better chance of at least being noticed. I would expect that an
enterprise like Boeing would have more impact on Apple than any educational
One more thing.
I think use of an online petition tool might help things
out organizationally.

I agree although I expect nothing will come of it. Their stock price is far
too high for them to be bothered with concern. I wish I could be more of an
optimist sometimes.

Thank you Lee.
I definitely believe that it is a great use of the list...A request made by

Let me add:
Even as an Apple shareholder,
(no conflict of interest, more of a vested interest in the matter ;-),
I believe that it is way past our time to voice our opinion
Lets do both, petition that points to the FB page, that way it will be easier
for Apple to circulate our concerns within apple., amaybe we get some
enterprise particpation.

Apple either does not care or they have not gotten the message. There is no
way to know for sure which is the case. There is not a lot we can do about
the former, however we can keep trying about regarding the latter. I think

For me, the key point is enterprise networks. When Bonjour first came to
my attention, it was officially described as An experimental protocol for
small networks without DNS servers.
Apparently, Apple's thinking is that if you use their products, your network
MUST qualify. I believe THAT
That is worth mentioning: I'll be disappointed if this petition is limited
to AirPlay. The real target here is Bonjour. It's required for an iOS
device to use wifi to sync to iTunes. Time Capsule uses it. It is rapidly
becoming the cornerstone of Apple's networking story.
In fairness, if we give
I'm researching policies regarding the governance of radio frequency control at
other institutions? This seems to pop up annually here where a department goes
for a convenient/cheap installation of a product, which inevitably means the
device - weather station, score board, energy management
Today it is AppleTV, tomorrow it will be a different device/use/software. The
underlying issue, as others have noted, is the Bonjour resource discovery
mechanism, what Apple likely needs is a directory service. Once that is
solved, the problem will then shift to
Also, for me, the lack of support for WPA2-Enterprise is a head-scratcher. If
they go through the trouble of supporting the rest of the encryption schemes,
and obviously support it on a bunch of their other products, why randomly leave
it out of some products? I’d prioritize that a bit more,
The FCC and NTIA govern frequency in the United States. You control
short-range airwaves to the extent that your institution can control what is
brought onto campus by employees, students, and the public. In the same way
it's difficult to legally prevent students from bringing in peanut-based
Good afternoon --
I had a question about how you setup Wide Area Bonjour -- in your example below
you listed a dns record for _appletv-v2._tcp:
35CF2488F02660B1._appletv-v2._tcp SRV 0 0 3689
utnet-appletv.bonjour.utexas.edu. ; Replace with unicast FQDN of target host
I thought it was the MAC address of the particular device, but yours is
longer than that. Curious.
(One of the reasons we didn't want to use Wide-Area Bonjour for this).
