There are certain laws you might fall under if you allow open access, such as CALEA. We recently put in an open/unauthenticated network, but with restrictions. Visitors must still register there devices (thought there is no validation), we only allow for 3 days of access followed by a 3 day exclusion period, and we limit what services can be used to basic stuff like HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH, and VPN.

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/.
