Jerry, we do provide guest wireless access to campus but the system registration must be completed by an employee (so there is a chain of responsibility). We have an account management portal that allows registration of the mac address. The network uses a static WEP key, not for security, but more like a simple registration key. We also have mac authentication enabled, which is why the mac record must be registered.

It would be helpful to us if we could enlist your input on the following questions. 1. Does your university provide an open access Wifi system for guests on campus? 2. If so, does it have encryption of any kind setup? 3. Do you use a third-party subscription service such as Boingo, or do you have your own subscription service, or no subscription required? 4. If you don't require any authentication/subscription, how does your University feel about the risk of providing an anonymous platform that can be used for illegal activity? Have they accepted the risk? Do they not feel the risk is great enough to mitigate? Many thanks in advance to those who respond.
