>> Now when you're providing that kind of access to the students, obviously security is one of those issues as well. So how do you kind of marry up this notion of let's provide access any time anywhere with security, especially given the variety of devices. And I would assume that a lot of those devices are basically unmanaged.
>> The devices that are unmanaged are the student devices. But when they arrive on campus, we put them through a computing boot camp. We provide them with lots of training and education about legal uses of technology, about being a good Net citizen and what does it mean to use the campus's environment. And we also run their computers through a pretty rigorous hygiene program to ensure that they don't introduce viruses or other problems into the network. And then beyond that, we have a computing standard set that supports security across the campus. So any device that connects to the campus network, be it your own as a visitor or somebody who's on the campus regularly is provided with the tools to clean your computer and ensure that it maintains an appropriate community standard.
>> And are those community standards effectively enforced?
>> They are. They're enforced. If we have a student or a community member whose computer is causing problems on the network, by MAC address we will restrict the use of that computer and quarantine it until they have the opportunity to go through and take care of the necessary steps to ensure their computers are protected. Very often students are unaware that they have downloaded spyware or other malicious software that could cause problems. And because we are an open network, because we don't provide all the devices and lock down all the devices, that's just part of the job is being able to manage that level of diversity.
