Doing tech support at NDSU in Fargo and working for the largest college (Engineering and Architecture) we have faced constant opposition to our setting up wireless access in the electrical engineering building, as it may not conform to the upcoming "campus standard". It's basically 5 of us in our small office vs. ITS (Information Technology Services), which does tech support for some of the other colleges and operates the campus LAN. ITS has been "planning" to do wireless all over campus for over 2 years, but it still is bogged down in committees. We managed to do a whole building in less than 2 weeks for $1000. By the looks of the comments we aren't the only university that has been in the "planning" stage for way too long.
