The way I read this, it seems to imply a lack of confidence in the service. Since our wireless and wired infrastructures are separate to some degree, it's possible that a wireless connection would not work - but it's just as likely that a wired drop would not work, too. Therefore, I'd estimate that I am equally confident in both services. Maybe if it was phrased differently, like "make sure to test wired and wireless ahead of time, in case one fails" - but I see wireless and wired as equals. Just my two cents. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
