Seems like the network was really obvious. If the University had wanted to stop it they would have gotten a guy with a cherry picker to just cut the crazy cables on the outside of the building. I wonder what the situation was that they tolerated this enough without providing their own network? Lots of props to the guys that built this thing!
- wmf 5y agoI assume the university didn't have the budget to provide a dorm network so they didn't object much to the students building their own.
- tehjoker 5y agoThis makes sense on the surface, but why then continually mess with the student network instead of working out a way for them to do it in a partnership? That said, the way it actually ended up being provided probably built a lot of solidarity among the students, but at the same time prevented fair access to people outside the service range.
