TU: wireless campus

I use Trinity University's wireless network all of the time.  However, very rarely is it for academic purposes.  I mostly use it when I want to video chat with friends from home and don't want to bother my roommate.  I also use it to watch Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers games in conjunction with my Slingbox.  I am very thankful for the wireless internet here.  An article I found that details a bit more the convenience of wireless networking on college campuses is http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C01E4DE1031F933A15757C0A9669C8B.  This article is based at St. Mary's College in Newburgh, NY and features just how much a wireless campus can improve the educational experience of all the students.  The article, written in 2000, predicted the vast increase in wireless access that has indeed occurred, something that I think we are all thankful for.
