In Tshwane that equipment would be liberated from the poles in record time.

Free Wi-Fi debacle in Stellenbosch

In November 2012, it sounded as though the project was in total jeopardy

I personally dont see the point of a free "open" wifi, wouldnt this be a nice playground for information theft?

 

[Dolby]

I wonder brand equipment they're using ?

Could be MIkrotik with RouterOS

Is the Stellenbosch network being touted as a security monitoring network too. I just noticed the camera in the pic...or is htat to catch the person trying to free the wireless even more?

Yes, then instead of catching the culprits, they will make a law that everyone needs to RICA his laptop. Doh! :wtf:
