Which are not part of the academical institution

Even if they did turn off one for the other, depending on the lease time in use on your network, their is almost a 90% assurance that the newly turned on device will not be assigned the IP of the former device hence a new IP will be required.

So question is we want to give the IP's to the university for academic reasons.  The two phones are provided by a commercial network operator who already has IP's.  Why is the university wanting to get involved here.   Then at the same time the university will ask for concessions.  

How about we focus on just the acadmical infrastructure and if we want to go the the BYOD (bring your own device) just offer this to one device which will hopefully be the laptop or tablet device.
