Hi Howard, and in reply to others on student demand,

It's worth noting from a market perspective that as wireless
manufacturers, we are beginning to see wireless-only client
devices being supplied to schools - particularly Netbook-style
devices, and of course iPhones and the like.  This has started
with BSF projects but is moving down the scale into primary
rebuilds.

This trend is set to continue with pedagogy policy documents being
formulated at a DCSF level that assume that children will be accessing
IT services using wireless as a primary medium from 2012 onwards.
These have not yet filtered down into concrete guidance on how that
should be provided, as education delivery thinking is ahead of the
implementation thinking at the moment.  e.g. what kind of wireless?
Wi-Fi is not assumed to be the option, it could be 4G/5G.

I am regularly providing BSF briefings on what can and can't be
done with wireless as we all know there are plenty of applications
that are extremely difficult to deliver consistently or in quantity
on what is effectively a bunch of shared medium hubs - even assuming
basic coverage and spectrum planning is up to scratch.

However, developments such as:
802.11aa - Video Transport Streams
802.11ac - Very High Throughput <6GHz
802.11ad - Very High Throughput 60GHz
802.11ae - [Multihop] QoS Manangement, and 
802.11af - [Wi-Fi over] TV Whitespace
will over time solve some of these problems.  Work in these areas
has literally only just started and we are years away from anything
coming out of these committees.

The reason for mentioning this now is that HE has a few years before
these 'consumers' filter through and come knocking on your doors,
but it would be worth having in the back of your mind that universal
wireless and application access ubiquity will soon move from being
considered a luxury, to a basic amenity that will be looked for
as an offering when choosing a university.  If students are expecting
to arrive with wireless-only devices and have them work 'like they
do at home', that's when the challenges could start.

I remember back to 93 when I chose my university because they had
wired Ethernet in the dorms.  In those days only CS and related
students would care about that, but it will soon be everybody for
wireless too.

[I am an invited guest to the list by Oliver Gorwits as I'm the
Public Sector technical wireless lead for Cisco UK and can feed back
on any market development questions on what customers are asking for
in general.  In the context of this list I maintain strict separation
between any sales and technical contacts some of you may already have
and am aware that this list is never to be used for the discussion of
any Cisco product or service - only for general high level
comment on topics that could help the community as a whole.]

Regards,
Paul
