This seems unfortunate but I wonder whether it is unusual. On a much smaller scale, our university has just wifi-enabled our labs, lecture theatres and student cafe. It would be interesting to know how widely it will be used -- I had plans but these will not come to fruition this year. I suspect student ownership of wifi laptops raises issues of cost and security -- I was planning to deploy some of our small stock based on students sharing. I think LAMS has a major role to play in developing lessons in this area, both in labs and lecture theatres.

Do you know what the major negative factors were in Enschede? Cost of the licence? Cost of hardware? Performance? Security? Lack of lesson content?
