How would you like to have a house next to the Marriot? This type of RF quarantine on a large scale could lead to worse problems than the devices present themselves. I think I am with the FCC on this one. We try to educate our users that they are causing problems for their fellow students and discourage it that way. Worst case I think we can still block a wired port on our network that they are connected to. Not going to affect cellular hotspots though. Bob Owens

But yeah, I agree that they're firing a warning shot that using quarantine features goes against their rules. Can't go to jail for doing it, but they do have the authority to levy fines.
