I think Jeff’s statement is a rather outdated opinion. The era that people thought that separate SSIDs are needed to distinct user groups is fortunately gone. There is no merit of having multiple SSIDs. If you want your users to successfully use eduroam when they visit another institution, I encourage you to configure and let it use it while they are at home. After all, that is the best time you can help them if there are problems.
The institution’s core asset is knowledge. And knowledge can me multiplied by dividing it. That motivates people to visit other institutions and eduroam eases to gain access to the Wi-Fi when they do. With all respect but that is substantially different from paying a visit to Stargbucks or McDonalds. -Frans From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]> on behalf of "Jeffrey D.

Best to treat/deploy it is as a slightly better version of the WiFi you can get at Starbucks or McDonalds.
