In a strange way, i actually agree that public wifi service should configured to provide only legal and morally acceptable services. but blocking legal adult content is a step too far. public wifi should be for normal society to do normal stuff, yet prevent illegal activities

we have some major issue to balance, we still have a generation of young (ish) parents where the It skills of the child are far superior to the parent, so education of the child is the only reliable way to protect the child.

But at the same time you cannot create a platform from which underiables can launch themselves on society,

there is no perfect answer here. and any cost effective solution can always be bypassed by the determined few.

At one point, no one in Scunthorpe could sign up for AOL (which you could argue is a plus) because of over-enthusiastic filtering.

Scunthorpe is always problematic, maybe even Marseille.

We’re all doomed.

Anyone could get the idea that these people have absolutely no idea what they’re doing…

Heard good things about Meru and also Ruckus Wireless. Agreed- a managed solution and good hardware is the sensible option.

Regarding short-term stuff- never found a good supplier for Internet, but your employer did us short-term ISDN & POTS in Bournemouth, at a price. Internet, fortunately, was supplied by the place we were based, again at a price…

Could your friend decamp to Starbucks?

also the problem is not just confinded to public bulidings,

yoiu try getting a phone / Broadband contract (required as she works from home 2-3 days a week) on a short term basis,

i have been involved in providing BYOD wifi at a school, not as a consultant , but as a beta user, as a school goveer i was on site quite regularly, i even worked from the school on one occasion, as my works SSTP vpn worked great through the BYOD wifi and student proxy limitation.

after several small scale attempts with domestic and even low end SME kit, the inly viable option was a proper Managed solution, they opted for MERU networks, and after seom stiff negotiations about being a trial site for School Wifi, setup cost were minimal (but not cheap)
admin costa are almost ZERO, with WPA2-enterprise with radia into AD and transpraent proxy, it just works..

This is a great Demo, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFJXSbAvU_E

The big mystery is why anyone would nick a snot green bike. I thought you’d be safe with that.

I hope you get it back.

A good few, yes, but not of interest to me. Beer list online at Walsall CAMRA.
