I don't know Lee, in my mind is it the device maker's requirements to
work in both consumer and enterprise environment, or does the enterprise
wlan market need to figure out how to look more like a consumer wlan? Is
this a problem EDU's have created because of some desire to provide a
service that's more complex or invasive to use then it has to be? Is
there really a need to on-board devices and have them associate using
WPA2 Ent, or could we support the bulk of our users (especially
students) using something more consumer friendly?
 
Take residential (dorm) wifi as an example. If you had a model with an
open or PSK-emulated wireless network coupled with location-based
service filtering, the user gets on with every device out there, and
they can see their chromecast, appletv, etc. and any others on that AP
or 1 adjacent. Pretty much gives you the consumer feel.

told that the Alliance is at least reading along, FWIW.
