I agree, this is a behavior issue that shouldn't be fixed with technology.The only real options require authentication and user control (FTE to maintain), or having an the right number of APs in strategic positions and shutting them off during class time (costs added equipment, infrastructure, and an FTE).

Yes, if you look at the archives for this list on the EDUCAUSE web site, you'll 
see that this has come up before. It also comes up on the CIO list and probably 
others that are archived there. There doesn't seem to be a technology solution 
for this that would work in a typical academic environment.

Can somebody tell me which is the best and cheaper solution (something so

The best solution that is always presented here is that this is a classroom
control issue, not a technology issue.  :)
