How is this for a start :-) Whereas, we the undersigned academic and research institutions are receiving numerous requests from our faculty, staff, and students for the ability to utilize Airplay technology in classrooms, conference rooms, and other locations, here by solemnly request that Apple provide support or Airplay technology in enterprise wireless networks.
Failure to provide this support severely limits the usefulness (and desirability) of Apple products in our institutions. At your earliest convenience please provide us with a roadmap for support of Airplay and related technologies in enterprise wireless environments. Thank you. - -Neil -- Neil Johnson Network Engineer The University of Iowa Phone: 319 384-0938 Fax: 319 335-2951 Mobile: 319 540-2081 E-Mail: neil-john...@uiowa.edu On 7/5/12 1:47 PM, "Watters, John" <john.watt...@ua.edu> wrote: >I bet if you would write something up we could get signatures from just >about every college and university.
