On May 5, 2004 they issued a Public Notice to request public comment on various aspects of deployed WLANs, including those on academic campuses. The FCC also wanted opinions on what barriers to future deployment the FCC could help eliminate. The Net@EDU Wireless Working Group surveyed 10 campuses, ranging from Little Priest Tribal College (200 students) to New York University (50,000 students). These are the compiled results that were used to answer the FCC questions. | | View this resource: | |
