Abstract
Bring your own device
The University of Manchester has a history of people bringing their own devices onto campus. It's been our default position for as long as there has been a network and applies to both wired and wireless. Support varies between "not at all" and "we'll configure it for you". Mobile devices have increased the pressure considerably. This talk will describe some of the challenges faced and how they've been dealt with.
