Unplugged U.

Josh McHugh, Wired, Sept 20, 2002

Quite a good article about the deployment of a wireless network at dartmouth University, including an insider account of many of the hijinks that resulted, including the remote hacking of the carillon and a sorority's mysterious 222 Mbytes of data streamed per day. The article also introduces outsiders to the term "Blitz Mail" and - oh yeah - mentions the use of wireless in classes. A great read (though the sensitive will want a warning about the language).
