Paper A
protected themselves and then still go through the uni’s network. NG – Problem is that not everyone would put a password on router, which would allow anyone to access the information. AD – There are ways to stop this happening; students could be advised on how to do this. CF – Didn’t really mind not using wifi, but Ethernet could was too short, need longer cables.

AD – Gives students alternative to going out. IM Seconder Yes – 23
