what resources they have access to and if so  what?  With the advantage
of hindsight, would you do it this way again?

Justin,

We're contemplating such a service for guest wireless. We're
still hammering out details but, if approved, it looks like
such connections will be put in a restricted VLAN that only
has web and necessary infrastructure ( e.g. DNS ) access.
