Chuck, we're in the exact same situation as you and not only do we use the argument about being the ISP for free public wifi, We use the law enforcement argument and CALEA where we need to know who's on our campus network in case we need to track that down for what they're doing once connected or if there is some other kind of copyright complaint or misbehavior.

What arguments do you use against this kind of deployment? We are in a city and do not wish to become the ISP for surrounding neighborhoods. ********** 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/.
