Jason, thanks for the posting, that was the first we'd heard of eduroam going to fee based service, we've been using it for a year or so and it's been very helpful, but I'm not sure it's going to be worth $2500 a year to have it.
Internet2 will be collecting the fees for non-members and turn the majority to us (we have formed a company to manage the growth of the service called ANYROAM LLC) http://www.internet2.edu/netplus/eduroam/pricing.html From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Schmidt, Jason W Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 11:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Paying for eduroam (US)? After inquiring about joining eduroam (US), I was a little more than shocked to discover that this is now a paid service offered by Internet2. As we are not I2 members, the yearly costs would be about $1500/year for our institution. I am wondering what other people think about this, especially non-I2 members. Is this service worth that much per year? I am also concerned that these costs will slow or halt adoption of eduroam at smaller non-I2 schools, thereby limiting the benefits of the service. -- Jason Schmidt Network Engineer UW-Whitewater ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
