A New Kind of Academic Freedom

Interesting item from Syllabus (though sponsored by HP, so read with the appropriate grain of salt) discussing the evolution of wireless access on campus. In some ways a bit dated (for example, discussing the 'current' 802.11b standard) and a bit wide-eyed (for example, observing that students will access the net from unusual places) but still a good way to catch some of the promise wireless brings to educational computing. Of course, since we can expect wireless to be pervasive throughout the community, the article doesn't answer a key question: why would a student travel to campus to access wirelessly when he or she could do it from the Starbucks downtown?
