Wi-Fi TCO

Wireless networks fall outside the scope of this weblog, but I am interested in the subject. I've run across a very interesting weblog entry by Phil Windley, the former CIO of the state of Utah. In the entry, Windley outlines some of the "Total Cost of Ownership" issues surrounding WiFi. Windley offers some smart advice from someone who has clearly been there: "Its pretty easy to ignore some pretty significant costs when you get emotional about a new technology and can't wait to deploy it."
