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

Some students might not afford to pay for a 3G bundle from their commercial phone operator thus would find the Campus wifi as the cheaper option. Its also become a norm that whenever someone with a "photabtop" is in a close wifi range, they would prefer switching to those faster WLAN speeds than stick to the edge/3g networks IMHO, hence the argument.</div>
