In talking about our wireless network at our weekly meeting, an idea of a public network was brought up.
We have a lot of visitors that are on campus for a few days that need network access. We currently have a registration system that has been deemed too cumbersome to navigate, and an easier solution is needed. We came up with a plan that would allow a client 7 days of free Internet only access. Afterward, the client would have to go through the registration system. We know that people can change their MAC addresses and bypass the security of this system. I brought up the concern of liability. If someone were to use this system for nefarious deeds, would the Institution be responsible? How do other schools with open networks navigate the liability issues? I realize that by opening up the system like this that we would be subjected to CALEA, which is something else that I'm working on.
