Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has had time in front of the new Apple Home Pod. According 
to the Apple support site "HomePod doesn't support public or subscription 
networks with sign-in requirements or enterprise-style deployments." This is 
not terribly surprising. What I'm really wondering is how useful is this device 
in an enterprise environment where L2 protocols are not allowed?

The Amazon Echo family of products has 8 out of 9 feature categories supported 
by L3-only connectivity (only home automation is prevented). Is L2 protocol 
discovery totally necessary for Apple Home Pod?

Thanks in advance,
Mike
