We have this.  Guest wireless is open, you need to enter your email, name, etc. and you get 24 hours of access.  We've 
only been doing it for a few months and so far we have had no issues with several thousand users.

Subject: [SECURITY] Consensus About Open Guest Access

I'm looking for some policies/opinions on how some other universities treat guest access to their networks.  We are in 
the process of reconfiguring the network in our school of nursing and the staff there is requesting open guest access 
w/o authentication.

Thanks,


Jim
