One microwave oven in each corner of the room, with the doors broken off, running 24/7.
More seriously, I think the effort is pretty futile. People could just use 3G/EDGE or bring in a Palm Pre/Blackberry/whatever instead.

Not that I think that is a good idea but I seem to get this request more and more frequently and I cant seem to find anything unique. Some ideas I have thought about: Blocking mDNS (probably a good idea anyway) Blocking bonjour Blocking OUIs APPLE's OUI's 00:03:93:xx:xx:xx 00:05:02:xx:xx:xx 00:0A:27:xx:xx:xx 00:0A:95:xx:xx:xx 00:0D:93:xx:xx:xx 00:11:24:xx:xx:xx 00:14:51:xx:xx:xx 00:16:CB:xx:xx:xx 00:17:F2:xx:xx:xx 00:19:E3:xx:xx:xx 00:1B:63:xx:xx:xx 00:30:65:xx:xx:xx 00:50:E4:xx:xx:xx 00:A0:40:xx:xx:xx 08:00:07:xx:xx:xx None of these will work well because they can cause other problems for other users when blocked. MACs and PCs can use bonjour, I don't think the iphone uses a specific range of OUIs, etc. I haven't sniffed the iphone DHCP request but I was hoping maybe they use option 43 or something to uniquely identify themselves which can get a blocked ip address or something. Anyone have any ideas?
