They are 100 very happy students/researchers. They were able to hit the ground running rather than wait for their departmental sponsor to figure out how to enable network access, create accounts, or whatever your internal requirements for visitors have been in the past.
Wait until you visit another country where data roaming rates typically make network access too expensive. If you happen to be at a university - you are good to go. I even used it while on vacation from a park bench (checking back on work email of course;-) Membership has its privileges! Great stuff. Peter Peter E.

I really didn't expect much, but am already impressed. In the last two weeks, we've seen logged in eduroamers from: US * Cornell * Brandeis * George Washington U * U of Iowa * U of Maryland * Pitt * Tulane Canada * Polytechnique Montreal * Ryerson University, Toronto UK * U of Edinborough, Scotland * Loughborough U * University of London * Cambridge * St. Andrew * Bristol * City U of London Europe * U de Poiters, France * Telecom-Bretagne, France * HDM-Stuttgart, Germany * KTH Royal Inst of Technology, Sweden * U Poiters, France * Vienna University of Tech * Uppsala U, Sweden * Utrecht U, NL * Stockholm School of Economics (This equals around 100 unique clients- most we've seen concurrent is just under 40.) Though just a spit in the bucket of our 20K concurrent daily WLAN client peak, the diversity of schools on the list is pretty thought-provoking. -Lee Badman Syracuse University ********** 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/.
