NU is scheduled to roll out guest wi-fi service on March 28th.  Fingers crossed, knock on wood, etc etc.

We're using the Bradford NAC system with our Aruba infrastructure to do guest registration on a separate SSID.  Guests 
will be able to register for a 24-hour period.  Hosts will be placed on RFC1918 address space, NAT/PAT'ed to a set of 
public IP addresses that we got from our ISP so that they're not on our regular campus IP space.  Bandwidth will be 
limited to 1Mbps up/down, and we're only allowing ports/protocols associated with general casual Internet usage 
(web/email) as well as a couple more advanced things like SSH and VPN.
