Campus wireless catch-up is long overdue

More wireless makes Rice a sexier school — to prospective students, current Owls, faculty, staff or anyone else with a laptop. And we’re behind a variety of places in this respect, from our competitor universities to public libraries to coffeeshops.

So we are glad the Information Technology department is increasing wireless coverage; the department hopes to attain coverage for the entire campus in the next 18 months. (See Story, Page 8.) This rapid pace is long overdue and we hope IT makes good on its promise.
