| abstract | - With all the talk of how mobile Internet has been a tool for freedom in the past year contrasted with the debade over badwidth caps verses reinvesting profits in infrastructure, I was interested to read the following tweet about the severe earthquake in Christchurch, NZ. “Civil Defence is asking not to use their mobiles to send video because it is clogging up the networks and emergency services need bandwidth”" Luigi Cappel@BluesBro Luigi Cappel Civil Defence is asking not to use their mobiles to send video because it is clogging up the networks and emergency services need bandwidth February 22, 2011 1:40 am via HootSuiteRetweetReply —– Hey Buzz Crew, I am currently a student at the University of Michigan, and thought that I could shed some light into the setup of personal a WiFi network. Here, there is a(n) (almost) campus wide WiFi network, that every student can access. While some of the dorms do not have WiFi, and still have to utilize Ethernet cables, it is strictly forbidden to set up your own network. If you do setup a network it may result in a fine or even being kicked out of the dorms. On a side note, upperclassmen usually suggest that students go to Starbucks to do their pirating, as the University networks are closely monitored by the MPAA and RIAA. Love the show,
