Well, again, I have a biased answer. I think all of our (UT) campuses have eduroam available. If for no other benefit, it certainly makes inter-campus visits much more pleasant to have working wireless when you arrive :) And guest access requests from other UT visitors have dropped significantly. Most of the issues where it doesn't work is due to the visitor not having their device configured properly (certificate issues, or Windows defaulting to computer authentication via AD). We use XpressConnect for our dot-1X setup, and it uses the same Radius server as eduroam. If you are setup for our dot-1X, eduroam will just work. If you are not, it probably won't. The certificate checks are against your home server, regardless of where you actually are connecting from. I don't have accurate statistics at the moment as we are currently dropping eduroam folks into a wireless role shared by another group or two (plan to adjust that soon).
