This from a WSJ article:
The tablet, lauded by many as the next wave in education technology, has already been rejected by two top universities, George Washington University and Princeton University because of security issues. Cornell University also says it is seeing connectivity problems with the device and is concerned about bandwidth overload.
Can any techies explain the “security issues” related with having iPads on campus?
Since the iPad was first sold about two weeks ago, more than 68 iPads have registered on the Cornell University wireless network. There are no known problems connecting and using an iPad on campus. Configuration to use the university’s RedRover secure wireless network is easy. Cornell University has a long history of being at the forefront of new technology. After all Ezra Cornell helped pioneer the use of the telegraph in the 1840’s. I imagine he would have really enjoyed using an iPad.
