Mr. Flaherty, We are currently only requiring registration of mobile devices for the users of our residential network. The reason we do this is so that we can steer them to the appropriate network. We do not really limit the amount of devices users can register simply because the students have so many devices that it would become too much of a hassle for us to enforce these types of limits. Students trade out technology so quickly that it would be hard to keep up with. We are talking about going to a registration system for our public wireless network, too as we really would like to get some better visibility into who is using it, and also for accountability reasons. Even there we would ask everyone to register any device that connects, regardless of what it is. Hope that helps! Sven Sven Hahues Ass. Dir.

Also we are considering a limit on the number of devices allowed on the network per user and are wondering if others also enforce a similar policy. Thank You.
